Subject: PKF: Openess


Hello, 

                            Today many people talk about "openess", in art,
philosophy...etc. As animal of searching "meanings", human beings try to
get the biggest possibility of meanings through association,
deconstruction...etc. Because of the concept of "openess of meanings", some
people believe that there is not any absolut or relative values on things
like art, literature..etc. I think, they believe on democracy and through
it trying to reduce all the values to "primitive values" (I mean, values
like primary matter), with which (like instrument) everything or every
meaning could be created. I accept the idea of "openess" or "openess of
meaning" and "democracy" but I doubt about this process of reduction to
primitive values and this "instrumental relation" between creat and be
created. By the way, some people says, democracy bases on the concept of
quantity but ignore the problem of quality. It is interesting! 

I just want to share what I thought lately, but I don't represent or belong
to any trend.
