From: "Tobin Nellhaus" <nellhaus-AT-gwi.net> Subject: BHA: I can't find it Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:33:44 -0500 Okay all, I need help from your collective memory. I'm trying to track down two things. 1) Somewhere in *Dialectic* (I think--maybe not), Bhaskar speaks, in passing, of society being "concept-dependent but not concept-exhausted" (more or less in those words). 2) During the "Reading Bhaskar" session at the RM conference, someone talked about a place in (I think) *Dialectic* where Bhaskar discusses the relationship between the perceiving subject, the real object, and the object as perceived. (I'm presuming my memory isn't playing tricks on me. I certainly don't recall reading it in *Dialectic* myself.) The person even used the blackboard to write up Bhaskar's graphical representation of this idea, which was something like: S - O' - O. This does *not* appear to be a reference to what Bhaskar talks about in *Dialectic* 271-2, which concerns the way that the subject-object relationship is articulated within subjectivity and language, yet that articulation itself occurs within a larger objectivity (the world). (If this person is now on line, hello!) Neither methodical page-turning nor aleatory techniques have succeeded in locating these discussions. Your help is much desired! --- Tobin Nellhaus nellhaus-AT-gwi.net "Faith requires us to be materialists without flinching": C.S. Peirce --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
