In Enlivened Evolution I'd be curious to hear your take on, or use of, Henri Bergson's Creative Evolution. Instead of taking a more Hegelian bottoms up view of the evolution of consciousness out of matter, he takes more a top down approach. Been a while since I've read him, but I certainly see how he could be used.
