Dear All,

 basic definitions and underlying assumptions of "science" as a mode of  knowledge."
   
  sorry for the changes in font here :-) but i just wanted briefly first of all to thank Charles and to say i think that word mode should go into bold type or sumpn that will highlight its importance. frankly i find some importance in the root meanings both of philosophy and religion. then i think it’s interesting that literature/philosophy accepts more readily that there’s always already aporias in texts. at the same time, perhaps the idea of the aporia is implicit in the concept of the quantum. i’ve read that quanta apply only to subatomic realms, but i’m not sure whether that’s not a question of definitions. 
   
  thanks to all for the discussion!
   
  Will
