Enaction and dialectics

This essay by Ezequiel Di Paolo is similar to what I described as hier(an)archical synplexity. Some excerpts of Di Paolo below:

"Enaction offers a philosophy that rejects the reductive individualism of the computational mainstream view. [...] The main tenet of the enactive approach is that we are always already biological, sensorimotor, and social bodies engaged in the ongoing adventure of making ourselves and our world together with others and together with our material environment."

"It is imperative, therefore, to criticize dualisms and in addition to this to establish a positive account both of the continuity and the difference between opposed terms. [...] This is the idea of dissolving barriers without erasing difference. In some cases, accepting boundaries but learning about the flows that cross them and how to see through them."

"We see dialectics at the root of enactive thinking. In 1976, a young Francisco Varela published a paper called 'Not one, not two,' which is a fitting summary of the attitude I am trying to describe, the attitude we should adopt towards any pervasive dualism."

"The first paramount aspect of dialectical thinking is that it aims at directing our thinking back towards the concrete. [...] Dialectics, and here I want to say enaction, is primarily a listening epistemology. [...] We listen to what’s out there and what’s in here, but more importantly, to what’s around and in-between."
