Dear Ken and Jude,
Thanks Ken, for the trail to the OED account of ³theory². (Sorry to be del
aided in answering - teaching has started here.)
You have reminded of ideas I thad some years ago, to take up the God bits
of Theory - in ways that are much better done by Heidegger, but, in my
case, with more of a twist on revelation/revealing/showing. It has been
many years since I last looked up the OED entry - so your prompting was
very useful to me.
Thanks Jude for the Heidegger account which again, I have come across many
years ago but never managed to do anything with it.
Cheers
keith
