Balder posted a FB IPS thread on this here. Cameron Freeman had an interesting comment, to which I replied:
I
see Derrida's influence here too Cameron, by way of Caputo, in his
critique of the metaphysics of presence. I find that sort of metaphysics
rampant in kennilingus, in that we have direct and privileged access to
the absolute via satori experience. Hence
there is no ambiguous gap or absence of the kind you mention; it gets
lost in the sort of Hegelian reconciliation one finds in that type of
dialectics.
And
unfortunately within that frame kennilingus, and certain forms of
hierarchical complexity, have no other way to interpret what you speak
of in terms other than green, often mean, relativism. Whereas other
forms of complexity thinking, like Morin and Cilliars, and other forms
of Christianity, like Keller and Caputo, can do so. But again at the
expense of being reduced by the above limiting frame.
This
post, and those following it on that page of a Ning IPS discussion, go
into this in detail. As I noted in that discussion, perhaps a better,
Caputoish term for this might be hier(an)archical complexity.
