why??..sometimes i wonder why people want a reason...
this reason man!...its the reason which is killing us...modernity talks of 'reason'...epistimology rests on the search for reason...the flaw is in the belief that there is one way of knowing things...that is, by reason...everything is supported, argued and defended on the basis of reason...its is the 'logos'...all knowledge systems are only formally accepted since they are a logos...sociology...biology...axiology...phenomenology...
ethnomethodology...but no one talks about the others modes that Aristotle talked about..there was logos (concern for reason)...but there was 'ethos' (for personality) and for 'pathos'...(emotions)......but modernity, capitalism, knowledge on the basis of 'logos' has been accpted by society...why does not society not give preference to emotions...is it coz emotions disturb social equilibrium.....then i turn to Levi-Strauss and the debate on nature and culture......
again its reasoned.....
