The syllabus for this discussion shall be "a rolling format" that changes as need changes. Recommendations are that a background in Paul de Man, Ludwig von Bertalanffy and Gregory Bateson could be helpful. As the discussion continues, other sources may be more appropriate.

So, for a lively discussion, the rules are designed to change often!!!

(See Animal Farm!!!)For a discussion of how that kind of format evolves, see Paul de Man and/or Jacques Derrida regarding deconstruction.
