Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

Simple Questions


Why if all views are relative settle on a negative meta-narrative of conflicting group interests...?
As it is no longer a referential choice....
Why not a simple inclusive non-sectarian common source of being...?Unless there is an interest in conflict? (conflict is profitable for many in many ways)" 



on the other hand, yes there may be many dimensions, from the post modern perspective, but lets acknowledge it and notice with what we have replaced... it.
 as Derrida said


"What costs humanity very dearly is doubtless to believe that one can have done in history with a general essence of Man, on the pretext that it represents only a Hauptgespenst,arch-ghost, but also, what comes down to the same thing, to still believe, no doubt, in this capital ghost. " Derrida
