Stuart Kauffman on emergence and life

Stuart Kauffman (Source: Closer To Truth)

Here is Closer To Truth‘s interview with Stuart Kauffman about “Is Emergence Fundamental?

Stuart Kauffman says among other things that (my emphasis in bold):

Reason is an insufficient guide for living your life. It means we need reason, emotion, intuition, sensation, metaphor. … Life is much richer than we thought.1

The biosphere is creating its own future possibilities of becoming. … That’s not in Darwin. … It’s a radical emergence. … We couldn’t prestate it. … We don’t know how it happened. … It changed the course of evolution.2

It’s radical emergence. It cannot be deduced.3
