The Lure of Whitehead; and Embodiment, Enaction, and Culture, MIT 2017

Two very different references:

The Lure of Whitehead,  Nicholas Gaskill (Editor), A. J. Nocek (Editor), 2014, Minnesota Press.

I think the Introduction  (as well as the rest of the volume) is full of insights pertinent to a lot of what we do — thinking-through-making and movement-as-thought:…   Attached is just the first few pages of the Introduction.

And in a different register”: Embodiment, enaction, and culture : investigating the constitution of the shared world 
Durt, Christoph, Fuchs, Thomas, Tewes, Christian (eds.), 2017, MIT Press.

It’s a contemporary summary of enactivism reaching out from phenomenology toward “culture” — characteristic of the “4E” work from Varela, Thompson onward.  But in light of work by Whitehead, Deleuze et al. please read the latter alert to lots of hidden abstractions — "fallacies of misplaced concreteness” -- with a grain of salt!

*“the expression of more concrete facts under the guise of very abstract logical constructions”
