Context changes everything how constraints create coherence
From the influential author of Dynamics in Action , how the concepts of constraints provide a way to rethink relationships, opening the way to intentional, meaningful causation . Grounding her work in the problem of causation, Alicia Juarrero challenges previously held beliefs that only forceful imp...
