From negative positions to positive explorations
We talk and read so often about what things we ought to reject. And even our positions are defined negatively: a-theism, an-archy. We're also very much against corruption and abuse in relationships and against corruption and obscuring of knowledge.
But it could be well interesting to explore and position ourselves in a positive way: what are the things that we DO love and enjoy? |

Re: From negative positions to positive explorations
This is a fine moment to make more people aware of an idea due to Richard Rhodes. I've always found it irksome that people call my preferred literature "non-fiction" as if there were something lacking from it. As a kid I called the two big book categories "fiction and faction." Rhodes has been promoting the term "verity," which is rather more elegant-sounding.
