    Hi Matt

    Certainly as a student of intellectual history, it is key to be able
    to tell some kind of coherent story of the moves we have played
    out to date. It is this story telling/ telling a good/plausible story that
    is the basis of our understanding post-essentialism,
    post-representationalism. Given interpretation
    all the way down, I nevertheless think there is alot of progress to be made
    in terms of
    constructive knowledge, and playing off the conflicts between langauge games
    in the
    direction of greater interpretational consistency and unity.

    regards
    David M

    more dangerous times, in a period with no promise of epic productive powers,
    pople were bound to seek certainty and security, and hence SOM was a product
    of this. Now we can consider it. It goes along with the uniqueness of modern
    individuality. But dangers from global inequality, and the barbarism being
    exercised to maintain it.
