The possibilities of bodily knowing and its relations to language sail past the postmodern alternatives of stated fundamentals or nothing at all. A new kind of ethics is coming. Norms, ethics, guidelines for action are not impossible after postmodernism. All moral paradigms need opening up, but that leaves more than scepticism and moral indifference. We heard of instances where norms and rules were generated FROM ongoing practices, and from the desires of the people for improvements in those practices.
Dissatisfaction can create a new openness in old forms and norms.
Merely denigrating science leaves philosophy helpless while computer logic redesigns animals and human genes for the market. The reductionist assumptions are not changed by mere negations. We need different conceptual models to think and study differently. Rather than disparaging formal systems, we can grasp the whole cycle. Systems emerge from, are used in, and flow back into the wider context in which people work.
