But switching gears, I promised Anne I would post this on radical incrementalism:
Okay, now I am really confused!
Evidently folks in business, computing, technology studies, education and even architecture all lay claim to the emergence of radical incrementalism, an idea I feel I first introduced in the early 1990s:
Policy Sciences: Integrating Knowledge and Practice to Advance Human Dignity
And which i have continued to emphasize:
The newer forms of radical incrementalism are mentioned everywhere:
John Seely Brown and John Hagel III,"Flexible IT, better strategy"
Lou Anna Kimsey Simon,"University Outreach: Realizing the Promise through Vision and Accountability"
These are not in my mind equally protean of progressive political possibilities for making emergent more opportunities to live less oppressively.
Other folks extend my version of radical incrementalism in ways that emergence theorists might find more prodcutive:
Joseph Lambert, "Incremental Progress"
Is radical incrementalism an idea worth taking seriously and if so, which verison?
If this is a question that has value for emergence then perhaps you will find these links useful. Otherwise, delete.
