Abstract
Chapter 8 prepare the ground for, and then plunges into, the relation of Deleuze’s (bio)panpsychism and the “mind in life” position of Evan Thompson (2007); the “enactive” biology of Varela, Thompson, Ezequiel Di Paolo, and Hans Jonas; and some contemporary biological work on the E. coli bacterium.
