Replying to @SpeakingSubject @danielmingram and
It's interesting. Our third chat, coming out tomorrow, touches on a variety of related topics, but ultimately, my sense of Vipassana is that it's done so well in the US because it simplifies so much & is therefore so compatible with the allure of American Pragmatism.

Replying to @Sciamanoinglese @danielmingram and
I also wonder how
@evantthompson would view American Pragmatism in light of the work on embodied cognition. Given that meaning-making depends upon embodied/enactive activity, it would seem that investigation ought to depend upon multiple modes of interaction with its objects.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
Yes, multiple modes of interaction--experimental, phenomenological, mathematical modeling, etc. I tend to think of this in Phenomenological (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty) terms, not Pragmatist, but there are places where these traditions intersect (also where they diverge)
