Would you, or anyone, care to elaborate a teensy bit on the truth of the
relative with an example.
In 'Cosmopolitiques', Tome 1, Isabelle Stengers uses neutrinos to
illustrate 'the truth of the relative'. The more they are 'for us', the
more they are 'in-themselves.' The neutrino happens to us and we happen to
the neutrino. The double creation of a factish (Latour) and its
constructor. The neutrino exists through a complex laboratory practice and
makes the practice exist. Double capture. The correlative double
individuation of a 'subject' and its 'object'. The exit from the copernican
atmosphere.
Does this make any sense to you?
