HI Tadit,<br><br>just to say I'm reading your contributions, even if I don't reply; right now, I'm about to leave for a 20-day lecture tour, so my connectivity will be less, with delays in responding expected,<br>

Michel B,<br>
<br>
Ok, regarding the paper "A Critique of Lazy Reason" by Boadventura DeSousa<br>
Santos, it seems like a useful agenda certainly, and a project that dates<br>
back to both the disjunction of the logic of being against the logics of<br>
substitution and of appearance by means of various sociologies of absence,<br>
or emergence and of capacities. I am more familiar with the discourse of<br>
hermeneutics through the social sciences and social philosophies as<br>
interpretative sociology, as per the tracking of cosmological<br>
interpretations. Economics is exceptionally perverse as a colonizing set<br>
of assumptions, More popular versions of economics will often require<br>
sequential translations, to identify the absences, the emergences, and the<br>
capacities. As noted the translation process will be at least dyadic if<br>
not multilingual, building up a common stock of knowledge in the process.<br>
<br>
Though the content and intentions are worthy, I had difficulty with the<br>
mass of the material being written from largely outside of critical<br>
sociology and of social hermeneutics as intended by Max Weber, and others.<br>
Santos will find receptive co-workers already busy at this project.<br>
<br>
Parmenides in his time already named the colonizing rhetorics as twin<br>
headed, know nothings. That this sort of lineage of discourse has<br>
occasionally sputtered to life and then drifted off stage for many reasons<br>
and persuasions, is an unfortunate fact of hegemonic and "positivistic"<br>
social science. Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind is on close analysis obliged<br>
to address capacities and diversity, cf Walter Davis's "Being and<br>
Existence."<br>
<br>
Using this as a useful framing will work a a meta-process, and it will<br>
require a stepwise process of translation. Foremost at risk will be the<br>
popular speculations and pseudo emergences that stop short of being also<br>
examined as also a colonial branding of poorly translated expectations not<br>
quite into practice.<br>
<br>
What would have been my dissertation was toward a hermeneutics of everyday<br>
life, even by way of zones of contact and translation.<br>
<br>
As a general framework for both weeding out neo-classical and colonial<br>
assumptions toward an open space framing could have some unexpected coding<br>
dissonance.<br>
<br>
as we go, Tadit Anderson<br>
