jan“He [Hans Jonas] sought a new cosmological narrative that locates intrinsic value and interiority in nature, and that calls human beings to become morally responsible for Life… Darwin, ironically, can aid this quest if we appreciate his rich references to the agency of organisms, their mutual influences, and his resolute rejection of fixed essences.” —Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life”: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/hansjonas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hansjonas</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/jonas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jonas</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/darwin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darwin</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/agency" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agency</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/organisms" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organisms</a>

jan“…read superficially, Darwin’s ideas can indeed tip into a vision of “mindless, purposeless algorithmic” selection—a view popularized by several late-twentieth-century biologists and philosophers (eg, Dennett, Dawkins). … Yet Darwin’s own texts, especially when read in the context of thinkers like Whitehead or Peirce, open onto the possibility that teleology is not an external imposition but a creative principle intrinsic to living organisms…” —Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life”: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/darwin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darwin</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/dennet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dennet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/dawkins" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dawkins</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/whitehead" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whitehead</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/peirce" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peirce</a>

jan“Darwin wrote extensively on animal behaviors, local adaptations, and reciprocal relationships that speak to co-creation, not a fixed environment imposing design by negation.

jan“…many biologists, craving the prestige of physics (“physics envy”), indeed tried to reduce living phenomena to clockwork processes or gene-based instructions. However, Darwin himself took a less reductionistic approach. Darwin was not imposing a precise blueprint upon nature but describing how purposive behaviors, preferences, and local constraints yield emergent patterns of speciation.” —Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life”: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/darwin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darwin</a>

jan“Tim…suggested that, if one generalizes Darwin’s principle in line with thinkers like Charles Sanders Peirce or Alfred North Whitehead, natural selection can be extended beyond biology to show how constraint and self-organization interact with selection-like processes even in physics and chemistry. Understood in this broader way, variation and selection become part of a generative schema of immanent form-production, not just a set of blind mechanics that weed out unfit mutations.” —Matthew Segall, Hans Jonas' "The Phenomenon of Life: A dialogue with Timothy Jackson about Jonas' treatment of Darwinism” <a href="https://footnotes2plato.substack.com/p/hans-jonas-the-phenomenon-of-life" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://footnotes2plato.substack.com/p/hans-jonas-the-phenomenon-of-life</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/darwin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darwin</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/peirce" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peirce</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/whitehead" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whitehead</a>
