What about the process philosophers?

“Very deeply disappointing that there was no mention of those philosophers who have pushed back against Russell and the logical positivists who push hard on the idea of rationalism and operate very much in the Cartesian tradition that gets constantly stuck in either/or binary paradoxes—binarisms that cannot be resolved in the context of classical logic. You cannot ignore quantum mechanics and the implications of such things as non-locality, the measurement problem, entanglement and, especially, Bohr’s Principle of Complementarity. The area that does directly address are the process/relational philosophers who, very sadly, and very disappointedly, actually, receive no mention whatsoever in this broadcast. Which, I think, is a huge oversight. For example, Alfred North Whitehead incorporated Bergson’s ideas in his speculative philosophy of organism, and the American fsther of pragmatism, a close associate of William James, and re-discoverer of triadic semiotics, Charles Sanders Peirce, insisted on a fundamental temporal continuum as the foundation for his evolutionary process metaphysics and architectonic philosophical system. The field of semiotics and the process of semiosis or signification as the way in which organisms derive meaning from experience also assumes a subjective nature to time which relates to Bergson. The only process philosopher who makes it into the discussion is Deleuze. And Deleuze was one who revives the interest in ‘Bergsonism’ but also links Bergson to Peirce in his philosophy of cinema. The relationship of Bergson to some of the phenomenologists like Merleau-Ponty and Levinas is also unfortunately unrecognized in this presentation. I hope the program may have a chsnce to redress thes oversights at some point to give a more complete and powerful assessment of Bergson’s influence. Much more to say but will stop here.”
