Is
there
a distinct role for logic,
and for a kind of scientific objectivity that would not be naive ?
How can conceptual systems function in relation to
more-than-conceptual intricacy?
In
what
sense do we move
beyond the utterly different
meanings that each culture
gives even to the most universal
words such as "body" and "person?"
Is there a path from Wittgenstein?
He could let a word acquire many new meanings. Although one cannot
represent language, no concept or metaphysics
controls new uses of words in situations.
Can we speak-from practice-and-theory and implicitly
intricate bodily experiencing?
Can we speak-from ourselves without
subjectivity/objectivity?
(Example: "If someone has a pain in the hand ... one does not comfort
the hand,
but the sufferer." Wittgenstein, P I 286)
Can a new phenomenology speak-from intricacy, rather than attempting
"description?"
Can we articulate the implicit political and ethical
stand of using the critique of assumptions to free people, rather
than to silence them?
