what kind of eggs? That's what I want to know.
Penguins' eggs. More specifically, Popper's Penguin's Eggs.
It all started when McEvoy, a Popperian, wrote:
"the view that "Things are more than the sum of their parts" is better
termed "holism" rather than "emergence"".
Surely, a penguin's egg emerges from a penguin.
It may be argued, alla Popper, that there's penguin holism. I.e. that the
things (a penguin's eggs) are more than the sum of their parts (the parts
of the aforementioned penguin's eggs).
But this is controversial.
But then:
i. _Everything_ is controversial for Popper, including (i).
So there.
Cheers,
Speranza
