@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314

Here I argue that there is no need for a distinctively diachronic notion of emergence, as purported cases of such emergence[...]

“Being dragged into the orbit of Webster’s mind is like entering the Magic Mountain: you go in as a visitor, and stay as a patient” – Tom Mcarthy, author of Remainder and Satin Island “Jamieson Webster’s new work reflects upon that aspect of hysteria—or conversion disorder—that has eluded the attention of most commentators: the indifference of the subject at the very moment that the symptom is most clearly enacted. This point of departure allows Webster to think about what[...]

Logic in Fiction. Mark Colyvan
4:15 pm
Logic in Fiction. Mark Colyvan
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314

After all, we can tell a story about a world with a different geometry from ours, different physical laws, and even different[...]
