The themes I addressed in this essay are ones I’d like to return to soon, after I finish digesting Plato and Aristotle and feel freer to return to studies more directly related to ecology, systemism, and the like. Among things I’m interested in studying are Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory, Mario Bunge’s work on causality, and the field of environmental history, which studies the relationships between ecosystems and people through time, as well as more thoroughly studying the question of the appearance of mathematical objects in nature, particularly the naturalistic arguments of D.M. Armstrong, and their critics. Ambitious readers are encouraged to get a step ahead of me on this stuff, as I’m probably not going to get to it for some time.
