Philosophy and History of Science

Part 1 The world: am I because my little dog knows - of apes and essences Me against my brother, me and my brother against our cousins, me, my brother and our cousins... - the genetic construction of sociality on discourse and the Darwin machine - the matter and the chatter of the mind. Part 2 The book: What is art for? - narrative and the Ludic reader tragedy - the ape gets serious comedy and the relaxed open-mouth display gilding the mirror - mimesis and philosophy in A fairly honourable defeat.
