  • "In time then, words will not stand still. Moralistic theories of history... dwell on timeless pattern or being, not process, and therefore deal in absolutes. But a concern with process, becoming, ousts the language of fixity for the language of... relativism. Absolutism is the parochialism of the present, the confusion of one's own time with the timeless... This is the confusion one fosters when he judges other times by his own criteria... (J.R. Levenson, Confucian China and Its Modern Fate. Berkeley 1958, part III, p. 87). -

    "Social constructivism... it may refer... to the building, to the construction of a house... But the idea that some so-called constructivists have is that you can make houses without bricks - that this is a sort of autopoietic exercise in thin air. I consider this total nonsense"
    (Thomas Luckmann, einer der Autoren des Sozioloige-Klassikers "The Social Construction of Reality", im Youtube-Clip, '50th anniversary social construction', ca. bei Minute 5).
    ["autopoietic" meint ein in sich abgeschlossenes System dass seine eigenen Bausteine und Strukturen produziert]
