John Heron: A Participative Worldview
The inquiry paradigm of mechanistic objectivism is breaking down because it cannot do justice, in an integrative way, to the full range of human experience in so many fields: medical research, the other academic human sciences, consciousness research, subatomic physics, systems research, ecology, and so on. An emerging alternative inquiry paradigm is that of participative reality. This holds that there is a given cosmos in which the mind creatively participates, and which it can only know in...
John Heron on the Epistemology and Axiology of Participation
- John Heron on 'Participatory Reality' "Co-operative inquiry rests on an inquiry paradigm of participative reality. This holds that there is a given cosmos in which the mind creatively participates, and which it can only know in terms of its constructs, whether affective, imaginal, conceptual or practical. We know through this active participation of mind that we are in touch with what is other, but only as articulated by all our mental sensibilities. Reality is always subjective-objective:...
John Heron on Persons and Participation
An extract from "Spiritual inquiry as divine becoming", published in ReVision, Vol 24 No 2, 2001, pp 32-41. 1. A person is a distinct spiritual presence in, and nonseparable from, the given cosmos, participating through immediate present experience - the very process of being in a world - in the presence of the divine. 2. As such, a person is not to be reduced to, or confused with, an illusory, separate, contracted and egoic self with which personhood can become temporarily identified. I find...
Henry Skolimowski: towards a fifth participatory age
From Separation to Participation, a history of modes of thought and consciousness: Mythos, Logos, Theos, Mechanos Peter Reason summarizes the ideas of Henryk Skolimowski, on the evolution of western thought: "Henryk Skolimowski, in his book The Participatory Mind (Arkana, 1994), sketches out what he describes as the four great cycles of Western mind, each of which provided us with experience of a different world. If we go back to ancient Greece the experience of people was defined by a worldv...
Henryk Skolimowsky on the Participatory Mind
"The astrophysicist John Archibald Wheeler may have been the first to announce, in an articulate way (in the early 1970s), the idea of the Participatory Universe. He wrote, "The universe does not exist 'out there' independent of us. We are inescapably involved in bringing about that which appears to be happening. We are participators. In some strange sense this is a Participatory Universe." In the early 1980s, drawing from the insights of Wheeler, on the one hand ("In some strange sense this...
David Skrbina on the Participatory Mind
The Participatory Mind, as defined by David Skrbina in his PhD thesis: "As I conceive it, the concept of 'participation' is fundamentally a mental phenomenon, and therefore a key aspect of the Participatory Worldview is the idea of 'participatory mind'. In the Mechanistic Worldview mind is a mysterious entity, attributed only to humans and perhaps higher mammals. In the Participatory Worldview mind is a naturalistic, holistic, and universal phenomenon. Human mind is then seen as a particular...
Steve Talbott on the Insuffiency of Reductionist Systems Approaches
Why a systems approach is not enough, by Steve Talbott of the Nature Institute The following are interspersed excerpts only: “Reductionism. The claim by some complexity researchers to have moved "beyond reductionism" is not justified by the facts. The decisive and damaging act of reduction within conventional science has always been the reduction, in thought, of the qualitative world of phenomena to abstract, machine-like models devoid of qualities. Complexity theorists seem at least as commi...
Steve Talbott on the Need for a Qualitative Science
The Nature Institute on qualitative science: "We develop ways of thinking and perception that integrate self-reflective and critical thought, imagination, and careful, detailed observation of the phenomena. The Nature Institute promotes a truly ecological understanding of the living world. We study the internal ecology of plants and animals, elucidating how structures and functions interrelate in forming the creature as a whole. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates anatomy, physiology, b...
Peter Reason and B.C. Goodwin on a Science of Qualities
URL = http://people.bath.ac.uk/mnspwr/Papers/sciencequalities.htm) Source: From the article in print, Reason, P., & Goodwin, B. C. (1999). Toward a Science of Qualities in Organizations: lessons from complexity theory and postmodern biology. Concepts and Transformations, 4(3), 281-317. Such a science of qualities would be centered around the six principles that describe the essence of this approach to the dynamics of complex processes and their emergent properties. 1. Rich interconnections Co...
Owen Barfield on Participation
"Participation is the extra-sensory relation between man and the phenomena." The world as immediately given to us is a mixture of sense perception and thought. While the two may not be separable in our experience, we can nevertheless distinguish the two. When we do, we find that the perceptual alone gives us no coherence, no unities, no "things" at all. We could not even note a patch of red, or distinguish it from a neighboring patch of green, without aid of the concepts given by thinking. In...
Information Sciences Approach
On the Interconnectedness of information and participative knowledge “La connexion des différents réseaux d'information entraînent une rupture radicale des repères cognitifs antérieurs causée par la mise en circulation accélérée des informations. L'organisation de cet espace échappe à tout contrôle centralisé. Par contre l'individu se trouve au centre d'un dispositif virtuel dont il n'a ni maîtrise, ni perception globales. Les processus sociaux et les échanges en cours introduisent une forme...

Bringing structure and dynamics together, the concept of communities of practice holds promise in developing a deeper understanding of the functioning of an open source project (Lee and Cole, 2003).
As Matt Cole (2017) describes, platforms, with their circulatory emphasis, offer users the multiple possible subject-positions—as workers, content-generating “free labour” (Terranova), commodity purchasers, data sources, advertising targets, infrastructure renters
Kevin Carson: The three big rival theories of property theory in land that more or less fall under the "free market" or "classical liberal" category are 1) Lockean; 2) the J.K. Ingalls-Benjamin Tucker doctrine of occupancy and use; and 3) the Georgist system of community collection of rent.
The book has a solid foundation in Benjamin Tucker's mutualism theory, especially the idea of four monopolies that restrict free trade (monopolies on money/credit, land, tariffs and patents). The book is available here:
