I doubt they'd do the reverse--eg not put Dennett in the philosophy section...?<br /><br />Maybe the point is, since the word ecology is in the title, it must be scientific/scientistic...<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words. They are much appreciated.Timothy Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067377804366363020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-17799662098405734822010-08-23T20:54:28.234-05:002010-08-23T20:54:28.234-05:00I was thinking about what you said of your work...I was thinking about what you said of your work's reception by some above and thought I'd share the fact that at my university The Ecological Thought was housed in the Science library. I found it there cozily immured between a book called Seeing Nature and one called The Unity of Nature. <br /><br />Thought this was pretty amusing. <br /><br />On an entirely different not I'm really enjoying the book so far. Stuff is clicking on every page for me that in very provocative yet crystal clear ways. Reading it alongside some Darwin stuff and constantly going back to Levinas (who I too once fell for wholeheartedly). <br /><br />I also find myself working on thinking through the difference between what you call the "mesh" and De Landa's "meshwork." Both have critical relevance to stuff I'm working on at the moment.captain furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01300602841817451110noreply@blogger.com
