Only on page 70 just now, but clearly this is one of the best philosophy books ever written.. it's like reading "the book i would have liked to have thought i could write".. still, chin up, he's leaving room for the magnum opus on subjective space. Dynamic-systems theory, enactive approach, phenomenology, neuroscience, co-evolution of organism and environment... pressing all the right buzzerwords and references for me.
Also good to see Thompson acknowledging Stephen Priest's exegesis of Merleau-Ponty (see Ch3 Note 1.). Stephen Priest: a man who has done a lot of thinking. Hope he's well.

Sth i thought i had written down somewhere but hadn't, it seems: in Sterelny's book, the idea of co-evolution and in particular of niche construction is important, perhaps i should get that Laland/Odling-Smee book on the subject
