Spring, by Liam Brazier I realize I have been long absent from new postings here. Suffice it to say: life, kids, job, etc. etc. have intervened. Nevertheless, I thought I should at least post a link to my actual completed dissertation, available for free (they make us writers pay so you don't have to!), at: https://www.proquest.com/docview/1540842461/8E1516075F984B5EPQ/1 Good...

In February 2014 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, titled "Toward an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Cybernetic Epistemology and Anthroposophy." The following is the abstract and a slideshow presentation that pulls out the crux of my arguments.

It introduces the work of Frank Chester, artist, sculptor, and geometrician, and explores how the special seven-sided volume with faces of equal area -- the Chestahedron -- relates to the traditional Platonic Solids.

Gregory Bateson (1991) famously said that we “cannot claim to have no epistemology. Those who so claim have nothing but a bad epistemology” (p. 178).  Bateson is calling for self-reflection in our epistemology.  He wants it to be recursive, so that in our production of knowledge we do not delude ourselves into thinking that...
