Autopoiesis and Ontopoetics: Investigating the Compatibility

Alan Walter Jurgens

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Loving the Earth by Loving a Place: A Situated Approach to the Love of Nature” by Laura Candiotto. Abstract: I agree with Candiotto that, in principle, enactivism is compatible with panpsychism. Nevertheless, as the tent of enactivism has grown, not everyone within it may concur with this synthesis. As such, I preemptively raise some potential objections to this synthesis from various strands of enactivism, and outline one possible route for developing a panpsychist enactivism.
