Incomplete Nature
Book • 2011
Incomplete Nature delves into the origins of life and mind by examining the concept of 'ententional phenomena,' which includes intentionality, meaning, and purpose.
Deacon argues that understanding these phenomena requires recognizing the causal efficacy of absence and constraints in dynamic systems.
The book integrates insights from thermodynamics, information theory, evolution, and semiotics to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the emergence of complex life and mental processes.
