In this heartfelt conversation, biologist and philosopher Dr Andreas Weber provides some more personal insight into his presentation at ESRI 2023, "Bodies Are Love Processes." He walks us through his own definition of love as a practice - not a feeling - and as part of a gift-giving relationship, related to the very notion of autopoiesis, by which an organism participates in a continuous desire to recreate itself from that which is not itself. Ecosystems, too, are love processes, as it turns out, and we can even think of the ‘commons’ as a similar process in our societal life. The conversation ultimately leaves us with Dr Weber's reflections on sentience, and particularly the ethical dimension of sentience, which was a key theme at ESRI 2023.
