Hi Andrea,
  Yes, I am familiar with her work. It is interesting and I tried to engage her in an exchange to see the overlap between our systems. She was a reviewer of the Periodic Table of Behavior paper. My take was that there were clear ways to line up our visions (although I did note to myself that there appeared to be a problematic dualism that you note). Anyway, she did not seem terribly interested in fostering a dialogue. She was not a fan of how I was connecting to behaviorism and she did not feel like I had done my homework on European theorists. At least that was my read. Joe M. was in on the exchange. He can pipe in if he sees it differently.

Anyway, I think she has developed a cool system. I just don’t think it quite goes deep enough into the descriptive metaphysical issues of mind and matter to get quite the right lay of the land.

Best,
Gregg

Hi TOK list,

As my target article about evolutionary psychology as a meta-theory continues to be commented on, I bumped into a comment by Jana Uher.

She developed a unifying framework named TPS-P (Transdisciplinary Philosophy of Science Paradigm for  Research on Individuals) Here a link for a summary: http://researchonindividuals.org/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__researchonindividuals.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=PteCbF0_3SxYaCXICP5v7TZuEkSegG4Wve5qaszPOs8&s=ue8DIMAoaBDPSljWFGn0PKlYnHPRyaMgoovlsVqv6rE&e=>

I still have to study it properly, for now what I find not convincing is her characterization of psychical vs physical, with spatiality as a defining feature of physical and not of psychical. It seems, to my eyes, a classic dualistic cartesian distinction: RES COGITANS (mind) vs RES EXTENSA (matter). (http://researchonindividuals.org/tps-paradigm_metatheoretical.htm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__researchonindividuals.org_tps-2Dparadigm-5Fmetatheoretical.htm&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=PteCbF0_3SxYaCXICP5v7TZuEkSegG4Wve5qaszPOs8&s=9GUmoJJG6dA4ncoz_j1cuSWAYHuPoJpN6zPUxFPGkQ4&e=>)



As Gregg points out, thinking about the ultimate unit of physics as matter is now out-dated;  it is better to think of Energy-Matter-Information.



Are you familiar with her work? Any thoughts about it?



Andrea



P.S. I found out this morning that also Mike (Mascolo) published a commentary on my article. I just looked over it, and still have to read it properly, but thanks Mike….
