Extract
How did I get to this strange place? This journey began in the spring of 1996 when, in response to an invitation by Carlos Steele, President of the Institute for Philosophy at the Catholic University of Louven, I gave several lectures on chora and presented a paper on metaphor to Professor William Desmond's seminar. That's how chora and metaphor crossed, where "crossing" is my metaphor for metaphor. My lecture was a response to John Llewelyn's discussion of metaphor and chora in Emmanuel Levinas: The Genealogy of Ethics. He has been for many years my patient and encouraging guide into the thickets of Continental philosophy. In 2000 I again had the opportu-nity to lecture to Professor Desmond's seminar at Leuven. I owe a special thanks to Dr. Rudi Visker for a candid commentary on my developing thesis; this arose from its ashes. A cooperative course on, of all things, child development with John Whittaker and Sarah Pierce opened my mind to the all-important role of emotions. I also profited from a lecture by Daniel Provinelli of the Southwestern Louisiana University Primate Center. The affects seem to entail and thus bridge mind and body; Whitehead gave this a place in cosmology and Heidegger make it central in phenomenology. I also must acknowledge a profound debt to Michael Comforti and other participants, especially Mae Wan-Hao and Rupert Sheldrake, in the Assisi conferences. Comforti and his colleagues have been, for the past 15 years, adapting Jung to the complexity-and-chaos theory and they, together with John Protevi and David Durie, have made me more aware of the field theoretic and relational possibilities of the hypodoche.
