Recall this thread,* an extension of an earlier Gaia thread. In particular this post,* and the few following, highlight some of the topics in this thread. For example this quote, taken from a reference Balder provided above it:<br /><br />"What I want to argue here...is...the voices of the non-identical: what cannot be subsumed and contained...by the 'sober,' tone-deaf concepts produced by our strictly 'rational' understanding—a hearing in excess of, or say beyond, our concepts for grasping and comprehending them; a hearing impossible within the ontologies codified by both rationalism and empiricism, both of which enshrine in reification the structure that positions a subjective interior opposite an objective exterior” (65-6).<br /><br />I recall in our previous discussions of Levin that he too saw a postformal means of apprehension after formal rationality. But it too was also not of the Hegelian and kennilingual transcend-and-include variety. Rather in his stage 4 we (re)turned inward and downward, more fully incorporating (embodying) the always already with the not yet, in a sense a much more transformal move like we see above than one of an extended, formal rationale of increasing complexity.<br /><br />* See the IPS thread for the embedded links.Edward Bergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864657929019204993noreply@blogger.com
