From: "Lois Shawver" <rathbone-AT-california.com> Subject: differends Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 22:01:21 -0700 Eric, has listed some possible provisional roles. I think I would like to claim one for myself, posting things that i think are relevant but not necessarily linked to what is said except in a general way. Would that work? I hope so. Here's one such posting: "The differend does not signify that the two parties do not understand each other. [In fact,]It requires that each know the idiom of the other..., although each cannot satisfy the demand of the other by means of its own idiom." ... It is necessary to the differend for the parties to 'understand' each other. But neither party succeeds in making the demand of the other legitimate for itself." (Lyotard, Lessons on the Analytic of the Sublime, p.152) ..Lois Shawver
