Collective intelligence and social ontology: Bridging the divide between human and animal collective cognition through stigmergy and Peircean semiotics
Wow! Quite a mouthful for a title. This paper covers a lot of ground that is of interest to me and cites several people with whom I’ve worked. Instead, what I am going to suggest in the next pages is that collective intelligence phenomena can be explained, in many cases, by means of structures of emergent…

In the first instance, Oakeshott seems…
The Pursuit of Intimacy, or Rationalism in Love
What about his private, intimate life? This brings us to the first essay in this volume, Robert Grant’s “The Pursuit of Intimacy, or Rationalism in Love.” As the title suggests, this essay is concerned with Oakeshott’s love life, which he considered to be not merely peripheral but in many ways the main business of his…
