- Title
Kathleen Wallace and the Network Self: Identity, Autonomy, and Responsibility.
- Authors
Pratt, Scott L.
- Abstract
Kathleen Wallace makes an important contribution to the theoretical frameworks available to understanding the nature of selves. Drawing on the theory of natural complexes proposed by Justus Buchler, Wallace proposes the "cumulative network model" (CNM) of selves. This article provides an overview of CNM, suggests its relation to recent New Materialist theories of agency, ideas of power, and the American philosophical tradition, and proposes that it can serve as a new resource in discussions of pressing problems faced in today's world.
