Phyllis - to a large extent I agree that this mythology is in the process of being rejected; that's
what I understand 'post-modernism' to be. What I am interested in is not getting rid of the baby
with the bathwater (which is what I think that mythology did to religion). There are some profoundly
important things about science that we need to hang on to - within a larger context.
I accept your point about citations, by the way, but I treat the MD forum as akin to conversation
(the essays are a little different) and I'd rather know what somebody believes for themselves (and
why) that wade through lots of extracts (like the ones I provided from Grace Jantzen... yikes -
hoist by my own petard?)
Where did (do) you do your philosophy in the real world?
