FRAGMENTATION PROBLEM 3)
← Back
"Is nature in itself fragmentable, and thereby non-distortively describable, or is it our linguistic description process which makes nature appear fragmentable?" (L. LÖFGREN, 2000, p. 15)
This ontological class riddle is obviously insoluble. In any case we generally approach phenomena in a fragmented way (as good conceptual descendants of Descartes). And, of course, fragmentation severs links, and also partly disgregates our understanding.
