Incomplete Nature - a book by Terrence Deacon that came out this week is a work that I have been studying for several months – having been the recipient of some of Deacon's early drafts.
Although I prepared a number of comments on the text for Deacon, the book is so dense that I cannot say that I fully understand it as of yet.
What I do recognize is that Incomplete Nature is an important book and perhaps one of the most important books to be written on what it is to be conscious and what it means to think about things. It is far too early, however, for me to even begin to think of how I would structure a review of the book.
Part of the process of learning to deal with such a complex work is to approach the work from a number of different points of view. One approach I am taking is perhaps a bit wacky and that is to build and manage the Facebook page for the book.
Which brings me to this: I need help!
In order to register a username on Facebook and thus be able to obtain the elegant facebook.com/incompletenature URL one needs to have twenty five people "Like" the page. As of tonight there are just three Likes.
So please, please - if you are on Facebook - click on the link below and when you get to the Facebook page then click on the Like button. Thank you!
You do not need to read the book. Just wait a while and I will tell you all about it...
