Re: <nettime> Forget who owns the truth. Just talk about the weather.


Dear Brian,

thank you for your extensive answer. Many interesting ideas! One thing puzzles me, but you can certainly help me to understand it:

You wrote:

  Thereby science and belief might become, not
antagonists as they are today in the benighted country where I live, but
instead, differentiated parts of a newly unified and sharable truth.

In the mail before, you demanded a place were true criticism is possible. As far as I see (as kind of a lurker in philosophy), a unified truth and true criticism are contradictions. You can have each of them, but not both. Thus I wonder how you think true critcism and unified truth together. Can you give me a hint on that? Would be great!
