Ch. I - The body and the environment are one, but...

We start right before the main text with the very brief Prefatory Note, and clarify how "A Process Model" (APM) differs a bit from standard philosophy fare. Then we proceed right on in, without any further introduction. Exciting!If you've been interested in (1) reading A Process Model or (2) going deeper on it, then what you really need is to just get inside the text, to be in it.So grab your copy of APM (or get a copy of it!) and join Joey Massengale and I as we navigate into the necessarily unfamiliar terrain of environments, ahem, "en"s, #2, #3, and #0.Send your confusions and questions our way at https://forms.gle/s5kQ24cy3Paycyrz9, and we'll try to answer them in future episodes or reach out directly!Chapters:00:00 - Prefatory note & context02:53 - Chapter I: body and environment are one05:18 - en#1: the spectator’s environment08:30 - en#2: the reflexively identical environment09:42 - Example: walking & ground resistance15:38 - The paradox: equal and not equal to en22:26 - Mutual implying, non-representational concretion, and interactional concepts40:34 - en#3: the homemade/domesticated environment48:33 - Action tracks: the body as process concretized1:01:50 - When does something become en#3?1:15:40 - The main environment: other species members1:25:00 - Rethinking space: two-directional “in”1:34:13 - en#0: the infinite richness of the unborn1:41:50 - Determining life process by en#01:48:33 - What’s alive about Chapter I for us?2:00:02 - The exciting stuff that lies ahead in APM
