The interplay between the various issues arising this week rather amused me
and brought to mind two statements I had read which I share as they may
amuse or be useful to others:-
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to compute it." Pinker,
Steven. "Words and rules : the ingredients of language.", p125. London:
Weidenfield & NIcolson, 2000.
"In modern economic societies, this general problem becomes especially acute
where the strategic interactions cut loose from the bonds of traditional
ethical life (Sittlichkeit) have to be normatively constrained. This
explains on the one hand, the structure and meaning of individual rights
and, on the other hand, the idealist connotations of a legal community as an
association of free and equal citizens, this community determines for itself
what rules should govern social interactions." Habermas, Jürgen. Between
facts and norms : contributions to a discourse theory of law and democracy.
Translated by William Rehg. p8. Cambridge. Polity Press, 1996.
