Opis

This is for reflective practitioners, for people wishing to inquire into what is involved in thinking ""in the moment"" when encountering unique, ""first-time"" events. It is also about complexity considered as a third realm of mysterious events subsisting between those we call problems which we can solve by rational thought, and those we call ineffable which we cannot at all describe in words
