Lamenting reality
There is nothing more foreign to some theorists than a lamentation
for the richness of reality this reality gets lost when we proceed to its conceptual
grasp; then, perceived as a specific entity; it is - to use Laclau and Mouffe's
term - always articulated in a series of equivalences (reality being the condition of being equal or equivalent in value, to this or that, worth, function, etc)
This take on realitycould be likened to the The Copernican
Revolution and the paradigm shift from from the Ptolemaic model of the heavens, which described the cosmos
as having Earth stationary at
the center of the universe, to the heliocentric
model with the Sun at the center of the Solar System
