Here's the full image. AI can be fun; but let's not ignore the parts that are neither fun nor good for humanity. On that score I hope to have some writing done soon, both for my blog and, I hope, a journal article.

Not many know Dewey contributed a book to The International Encyclopedia of Unified Science (Theory of Valuation, 1939) & was on the Advisory Committee. Actually, the Committee is a remarkable list of people. These names together may surprise some committed to certain historiographic narratives.

"Spirit is...the movement that is...the transformation of...substance into subject, of the object of consciousness into the object of self-consciousness... This transformation is the circle returning back into itself, which presupposes its beginning and reaches its beginning only at the end."

Got this in a fortune cookie a while back. Sums up my philosophical project rather well (if in French).
