    These people were true believers, blind to the fact that their arguments were hopelessly flawed, the result of cherry-picked data and conspiratorial thinking. They had no idea that the smart-sounding talking points from their preferred climate blog were, even to a casual climate science observer, plainly wrong. They were completely enamored by the emotionally charged and rhetoric-based arguments of pundits on talk radio and Fox News.

  • The Networkological approach thus takes a definite attitude in regard to the politics of life. Life is a complex network. In order to live more fully, we need to live at our most complex and most sustainable.
  • Space and time are network phenomena, created due to the distribution of perspectives on what exists.

      Og hvad skal det så egentlig lige betyde?
  • Much of the inspiration for the Networkological approach comes from the new sciences of complexity. Complexity studies examines the ways in which notions of emergence, non-linear dynamics, differential networked topologies, can allow new perspectives on what is at work in many previously underexplained scientific phenomenon.

  • Due to the relational nature of a networkological approach, reified terms such as matter, energy, mind, knowledge, and consciousness are ultimately seen as derivative products of larger contexts and processes.
  • The Networkological perspective is therefore also a method and a critique. Any reified entity or distinction will necessarily be broken down by a networkological critique, and re-related to the wider contexts within which it exists and from which it has emerged.
  • The Networkological approach, as a philosophy of relation, is also necessarily a philosophy of process, for relation is both spatial and temporal.
  • The Networkological approach is fundamentally a philosophy of relation. It does not deny the existence of isolated elements, so long as these are seen as ultimately related to the contexts and processes of their production.
  • The network is increasingly one of the fundamental metaphors whereby we have described the character of our age. Despite this, there has yet to be a philosophy of networks. A Networkological approach aims to address this fact.
  • Our age is one in which relation is increasing, reified entities are being reworked, and previously existent relations are becoming ever more evident.
  • Based on what is stated above, we can formulate the basic principle of a networked ethics: Let all your networks operate at maximum robustness.
  • There are definite precursors, and in some cases, fellow travellers, to the Networkological approach. Some key predecessors include the following: Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Henri Bergson, Baruch Spinoza, G.W. Leibniz, Alfred North Whitehead, Gilbert Simondon, F.W.J. Schelling, John Dewey, The Stoics, Karl Marx, Jacques Lacan, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, G.W.F. Hegel, Alain Badiou, Slavoj Zizek, Yuri Lotman, Ernesto Laclau, R.W.D. Fairbairn, Guy Debord, Bernard Cache, Bruno Latour, Manuel Delanda, Brian Rotman, Graham Harman, Jonathan Beller, and the Complexity Theorists associated with the Santa Fe Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    Utroligt inspirerende, tankevækkende og for mig helt ukendt filosofi om relationens/netværkets filosofi.

    The author of the world wide best-seller, Small Is Beautiful, now tackles the subject of Man, the World, and the Meaning of Living.Schumacher writes about man's relation to the world. man has obligations -- to other men, to the earth, to progress and technology, but most importantly himself. If man can fulfill these obligations, then and only then can he enjoy a real relationship with the world, then and only then can he know the meaning of living. Schumacher says we need maps: a "map of knowledge" and a "map of living." The concern of the mapmaker--in this instance, Schumacher--is to find for everything it's proper place. Things out of place tend to get lost; they become invisible and there proper places end to be filled by other things that ought not be there at all and therefore serve to mislead. A Guide for the Perplexed teaches us to be our own map makers. This constantly surprising, always stimulating book will be welcomed by a large audience, including the many new fans who believe strongly in what Schumacher has to say.

    Den bog, som Henrik anbefalede på dagens møde. Det er efter min mening altid interessant at læse anmeldelser på Amazon. Især kan det være givende at læse de anmeldelser, der er kritiske (meget apropos - Sylvester!). Se f.eks. http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Perplexed-E-F-Schumacher/product-reviews/0060906111/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R6FI9QGNM0L5T
