THE LITERATURES
acquisitionism(operationalism) ->
… “selective” historical literature ->
… … aesthetic moral/philosophical literature ->
… … … aesthetic religious/theological literature ->
… … … … aesthetic occult/mythical literature ->
… … … … … aesthetic dream state ‘stories’.
I might be able to do the first three but the rest are beyond me. yet we require ALL of these literatures in concert in order to convey ideas to the entire body of people. Why? Because each of us relies on a different intuitionistic combination in order to empathize with the same idea.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
I think it’s most useful if we correctly categorize each form of explanation. As far as I know as long as the ‘science’ holds (any statement is testable under acquisitionism (operationalism/science/truth) then the manner of its communication (and the inspiration provided by that form) is just a matter of ‘speaking in the language of the audience’.
I can pretty much decompose any of the literatures if I work at it (and have someone explain their experiences/feelings to me). And if we can truth test it, then the method of communication holds.
What one CANNOT do is perform DEDUCTIONS (argumetns) instead of EXPLANATIONS. In other words, ANY VIA-POSITIVA that survives VIA-NEGATIVA criticism is still ‘true’. But it’s not possible to ARGUE, only EXPLAIN by via-positiva.
