All language is based on context (thus the meaning is not "in" the language but in the context) and the language is conditional (you actually cannot state all the conditions so we always assume a lot).<br /><br />When philosophers seemed to come to an agreement on these facts I thought we were gong to get somewhere in the debates. But it seems the result of these new conclusions is that we use this new idea to attack our opponent. The opponents ideas cannot be supported by language (implying that the folk on our side are supported or we don't really need that support).<br /><br />Modern scientist who want to prove science is absolute are the worst offenders. The language is supposedly not strong enough to support religion but science has all the support in language it needs even though it has no more support from language than religion.<br /><br />All our calculations cannot be wrong (Wittgenstien) but we have to realize that they are just calculations. We assume millions of things every day. Most of those assumptions are fine and good or we could not survive. It is just that we need to recognize how dependent on assumptions that we are.<br /><br />Reconciliation can only come from that kind of humility. I think reconciliation also requires we remind people that absoluteness is actually not conveyable in language.Jerry Heathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260139325600434893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-35448098575620695012007-01-24T21:13:00.000-06:002007-01-24T21:13:00.000-06:00This also happens to be the end of the Week of Pra...This also happens to be the end of the <a href="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/weeks-prayer-doc/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_20060703_week-prayer-2007_en.html">Week of Prayer for Christian Unity</a>.Jeffrey Pinyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758581112217835988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-22162506537936593812007-01-24T11:45:00.000-06:002007-01-24T11:45:00.000-06:00Thank you both.
Mr. Randomdan, could you please...Thank you both. <br /><br />Mr. Randomdan, could you please drop me an email at the yahoo address for the Carnival? I'd like to see what you had in mind and get any tips there. I'm likely to reply to your email from my real email address, just so you'll know. <br /><br />And Dr. P., I sure did ponder the name. One other candidate I had was "ecumenical" carnival, and o many people have such a bad impression of "ecumenical". Then I thought of "Road to Reconciliation" carnival, which has the grass-roots / long haul angles covered but could have implied any group at all. <br /><br />I definitely mean a grass-roots effort. That may amount to nothing more than fellowship and some measure of understanding -- which is worth it in itself -- but that has the potential to cause exactly the kind of bottom-up groundswell that could ... encourage ... the denominational structures to try to catch up. <br /><br />And I was actually going to ask you (d.p.) if you'd be willing to host February, if you didn't have serious objections to the way the Carnival is set up, so I'll take you up on that. I have some guidelines in mind for hosts which I haven't had a chance to post yet, and you definitely meet them, I'm just trying to avoid the Carnival ever being hosted at im_right_and_youre_wrong.com, if you know what I mean.) <br /><br />Take care & God blessWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-45084934294178393562007-01-24T08:04:00.000-06:002007-01-24T08:04:00.000-06:00If you want some help with the whole carnival thin...If you want some help with the whole carnival thing from someone who knows a thing or two about running one, let me know.RandomDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787185732614416948noreply@blogger.com
