Bill, Great resources. I don't think Behe calls for the trashing of Darwinian theory or natural selection. I think he shows the limitation of the mechanistic...
Jon, The concept of episteme is from Michel Foucault and was most fully developed in The Order of Things. I went on a Foucault reading binge last year and...
Thanks for the question Bill Most "stories" that people tell in practice are anecdotes, not fully developed stories in the sense that a professional story...
Jon, I have no idea what you mean. If you insist on making sweeping statements, such as "Stories are complex, but they are complex because they follow simple...
Interesting. Interesting. My take is subtly different from David's. I don't think stories have to be full narratives, with beginning, middle and end. I don't...
Thanks David! Then does one remain open to the nature of imprecision throughout the gathering of "story" or do we begin to improve in the way of retreiving?...
Thanks, all, I have really appreciated this discussion which illustrates the original comment on how context and institutional structures determine the...
Ken, Thanks for the references on Foucault, and episteme. As for the comments on stories, my thoughts are in the process of being formed. I view this forum as...
Ken, first a quote from your previous post: "What I do say is that stories reduce the complexity of reality, including some details and excluding some, in...
I think I must be having a period of "negative comprehension" as this is the second posting that I find obscure at best. However let me make a guess at an...
Ken and David, I would be very interested to learn if either of you, or others, have thought about criteria for determing a good/effective story from a...
I agree its interesting and myself and Ken agree that stories do not have to be full narratives. As I said in the earlier post my experience says that most...
Buck - from my perspective I do not think that the normative approach to story telling in the market, by which members of an organisation are offered training...
Hi All I started rereading Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" quadrilogy last night (for the third time). In his second printing Scott Card provides an...
Buck, Seems to me that creating stories is something that we do as humans. One can help people become aware of the functions that story creation serves and how...
Dave, you used the word 'narrative' as not a necessary content of a story. Right. It can be the other way round as well: when I speculated on "a story" how our...
... From: Ken Baskin To: ISCE_complex-M@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 10:15 AM Subject: Re: [ISCE_complex-M] Re: Storytelling and Qualitative...
Ken and David et al: The patterns or deep pattern that affords us the opportunity to store the experience is the more difficult configuration to comprehend. If...
I think we are about there on an agreement - with a minor modification. Patterns arise from stories (one of the main factors) but are also the subject of...
Hi - I have been following this with interest and have been sparked by a couple of things to actually put fingers to key pads! My approach to research is...
Ken, I do appreciate your answer yesterday but do not have it on my home computer. Coincidentally I heard on the radio yesterday an old rabbinic saying, "God...
I agree totally with David. Pattern perception is the very essence of how our brains work. A story is a very complex pattern. The recognition of a spot on a...
Dave, Ken, Bill, three considerable posts on stories vs. patterns. I could not care less what to call things we really do not understand, but there is a...
Buck, and all, I'm interested in learning how a group can interact, share and communicate in good/effective ways that allows for individual stories to emerge...
Ken, I don't necessarily expect anyone to understand at this point. I don't expect understanding or meaning to necessarily be "here" at this point. Give it...
David, I disagree strongly. All sensory experience is indirect and filtered. For example, we have a minor blind spot that we don't experience because our minds...
Buck, Don't you think that pattern perception is the essence both of how we know, and how we are decieved. It's our blessing and our curse. All of nature...
Apologies, David, I was concerned my posting was too long and using jargon as short-hand – very dangerous on a multi-disciplinary list; made worse by failure...
