Not What We Know but
Whether We can put IT in play.
Incommensurate:
the
values of rationality & the values of irrationality.
the
values of idealism & the values of empiricism.
the
values of imagination & the values of knowledge.
the
values of pain & the values of pleasure.
the
values of sickness & the values of health.
the
values of skepticism & the values of belief.
the
values of belief & the values of faith.
the
values of conservatism & the values of liberalism.
the
values of cold & the values of hot.
the
values of dry & the values of wet.
the
values of evil & the values of good.
I
could go on.
Incommensurate is the
point. Can’t
measure or assess
one set if values in the terms
of the other set of values
without a reduction and
contamination and injustice to
both. We
do, of course. And knowing
better is better
than (and incommensurate with)
not knowing better.
