I won't jump, but that's simply because my colleague and I share the same construction. Academics, therefore, have no special pride of place when it comes to discovering insights or truths about the world. We academics must honor the customs and expectations of our audiences, just as all successful rhetors must, when we seek to persuade. All knowledge is local, and we make our images and claims appealing only within local and contingent frameworks. As Richard Rorty reminds us, the only thing that logic proves is that you can't prove anything logically.
All logics lead either to vicious circles or infinite regresses.
Note that, by this definition, claiming truth does not automatically create truth. Internally contradictory statements are incoherent and hence not true. When the measure's advocates publicly claimed that they only wished to sanction conduct, their claim was untrue, given the legal text they themselves drafted, which sanctioned homosexual orientation quite apart from conduct. Yet I gather this is not a translation. Clarifying your positions on these matters might ease my passage through this rich and dense book.
