autonomy and matter that matters

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 3:02pm.
Nice lead in to several themes of the course (maybe, we'll see). Yep, lots of things change for reasons internal to themselves instead of/in addition to external influences (think about menstrual cycles; see also http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Circadian.html). And in an important sense you are what you eat (and drink and breathe). There isn't any place else from which to acquire the matter that makes you up (cf http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/N/Nutrition.html)
