I wonder,though,if one might not approach the question of how the world works from a sidelong look,a piece meal enquiry,that makes possible a penetration into the questions relative to that enquiry through a specific subject. Taking as a vantage point a particular phenomenon or group of phenomena in a specific field of enquiry,working within/in relation to the rubric defined by contemporary scholarly practice,may one not approach such a question.

One would operate like the poet who employs the conventions of poetic form,the structure of the sonnet,for example,not as a convention that hampers their creativity,but as a from that enables that creativity to flourish in terms of/under the discipline of form,rather than risk dissipation,on focused expression in a an expressive stream. I have read my precise interpretation in to Stephen Hart's words so as to suggest the particular qualities i aspire to. I suspect he might have interpreted the specifics of his words in different terms. But then,as i have already argued,discourse is partly about constructing meaning in terms of certain assumptions.
