construction of the world Explanation: Construction, Psychological: (In contrast to Logical) A framework devised by the common-sense, scientific or philosophical imagination for the integration of diverse empirical data. In contrast to an hypothesis, a construction is not an inference from experience but is an arbitrary scheme which, though presumably not a true picture of the actual state of affairs, satisfies the human imagination and promotes further investigation. Perceptual objects, space and time, physical atoms, electrons, etc. as well as philosophical world-views, have by certain philosophers been called logical constructs. (Cf. B. Russell, Our Knowledge of the External World, Ch. IV.) -- L.W. http://www.ditext.com/runes/c.html construction n. the act of a lawyer or court in interpreting and giving meaning to a statute or the language of a document such as a contract or will when there is some ambiguity or question about its meaning. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/construction Each individual has his or her own private construction of the world. Yet we build them in concert with our world of relationships that form culture and make these private constructions -> social constructions. http://www.futureofthebook.org/mitchellstephens/archives/200... The fact is that religious people will reject this book, just as they have fiercely rejected every reasonable assertion of science, every rational explanation of nature, and every attempt to logically explain what is around us. In their minds, the sun still revolves around the Earth, and that will never change, because their faith necessarily demands an irrational mind. How else could one deny evolution? How else could one believe that the Earth is 8000 years old? Their construction of the world is a huge web of interdependent impossibilities, each more ridiculous than the last, wherein there are so many internal inconsistencies and contradictions that, as a whole, their construction of the world is fundamentally impossible. And even they will tell you that it is “faith” (by definition, unjustifiable belief) that makes it possible. http://alertedeye.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/book-review-richa... The patterns of social interaction and the symbols that express and support such patterns mutually influence each other. And we appreciate that the social construction of reality is inherently fragile, requiring reinforcement by repeated practices that make the conventional seem increasingly inevitable and natural. By using the language of "symbolic world," we also, paradoxically, reveal both ourselves and our own construction of the world as one consisting of multiple and competing discourses. http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-2945617_ITM However one values Derrida's writings and the philosophical positions and intellectual traditions from which he proceeds, it would be wrongheaded to think of him as an occupant of some "ivory tower". Derrida is the proverbial activist-theorist, who, over the years, has fought for a number of political causes, including the rights of Algerian immigrants in France, anti-apartheid, and the rights of Czech Charter 77 dissidents. True to his own construction of the world and his own autobiography, he has admitted few, if any, strict dichotomies in his life. As he put it in another context, "I am applied Derrida." http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/derrida/ The progressive aspects of this construction of the world, namely the foundation of knowledge on the autonomy of the individual and the idea of cognition as an act and task to be continually re enacted, are made ineffective by the life process of bourgeois society. But does this sociological limitation affect the true content of the construction, the essential connection of knowledge, freedom, and practice? http://www.autodidactproject.org/quote/marcuse4.html |
