@ATBollands Will your new book be available on Audible?

Let me tell you about Life, the Universe and Consciousness - my first book, which was published a few months ago. Its full title is 'An introduction to the Theory of Universal Life and the solution to twelve intractable problems of Life, the Universe and Consciousness'. /1

@ATB_66_ The ‘thing in itself’ is only the difference between what we currently know and what we potentially might find out.

The tragic incident in Manchester inspires most of the UK to say #Iamamancurian. Can others in the world also say so?

Motto: 'Don't be just a heap: be a whole.'

@ATBollands What might seem like highly speculative theorising, in A., is always intended to offer possible explanations of real experience.

@ATBollands And the scope of Life. Aristotle used Soul with a scope which included life processes.§

@ATBollands We should ask if Aristotle meant that the Form was Sufficient or just Necessary.

@ATBollands The rhythmical movements would be an example of just one level and type of form.

@ATBollands Since form is co-relative to matter there are many possible levels of this conception of soul as, in fact Aristotle describes.

@ATBollands Do you mean the section called Intellect?

@ATBollands See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylomorph…

@ATBollands Are you sure: "In Aristotle's scheme, something can be matter without being physical. For Aristotle, "matter" is a relative term

@ATBollands Matter & Form are co-relative. The M of music can be F by the style of blues. The M of Blues can be F by John Lee Hooker etc.

@ATBollands Hylomorphism - Matter and Form - Of course Matter is not necessarily mineral - just think of "Subject Matter".

@philosophybites I thought Blasphemy was any statement which does not presuppose physicalism.

@ATBollands @particleanimism That activity, of a plant maintaining itself, is that a different thing from what you call life? #univlife

@ATBollands @ParticleAnimism Within this In this view, what account does it give to explain the different forms of life in atoms and plants?

@ATBollands You saying that Sentience is sufficient for Life seems to completely change the usual meaning of the word life. #univlife
