‘ As we’ve previously discussed we are subject first to the paradigm of perspective: we are limited in our senses. We also suffer imperfect reason. As a result every attempt to describe reality will too suffer from these defects. It is not our lot to know, with perfect fidelity, this objective world. Not in this life, anyhow.’ The gnostic progressive project assumes it can and will ‘Know’ here and now. It doesn’t acknowledge its own limitations and blind spots. Icarus rising.

The deconstructionists seem only to address this ‘imperfect’ (sensory) processing level, ensnared in language and projecting the symbolic as literal. Kant, Wittgenstein….. describing subjective perception & expression which later theorists ran with, feeding into the Everything Is A Social Construct belief - god(s) in the image of Man. Mind forged manacles. The ever decreasing circles of identification with subjectivity and the denial of objectivity. Thanks for linking me to this piece of yours. Enjoyed it very much.
