      Incompatible rational systems—here, theorists’ and experimentalists’ divergent conceptions of the proton—can be productively coordinated *without* harmonization in “trading zones,” in which the tribes communicate in a simplified pidgin language.pic.twitter.com/lc3UDBny3T

      well. I hate when people refer me to whole books and stuff, and I'm not aware of many nice summaries and not in the office to check references. So take this as a nebulous re-collection of stuff. 1/x

      He started with the breakdown of meaning and epistemological crises, and reconstitution of 'better' meaning (with reference to breakdown/dark teatimes of the soul/madness and personhood etc): https://stream.syscoi.com/2018/09/23/epistemological-crises-dramatic-narrative-and-the-philosophy-of-science-alasdair-mcintyre-the-monist-1977/ … (1977 - published in 'the monist' - LOLs) 2/x

      (Before this was some relevant stuff on Marxism and Christianity - my thesis (undergrad) was that in both, he found refuge in hermeneutics - multiple readings and interpretations of the same texts, and in his career transitioned from the core myth of Marx to that of God) 2a/x

      In After Virtue, he did cargo cult morality (literally), the ravaged post-Nietszchean landscape and the reconstitution of virtue ethics - ethics only have meaning embedded in practices and traditions (hence a latter Wittgenstein constructionist (?) justification of meaning) 3/x

      Then Whose Justice? Which Rationality? and Three Rival Versions of Moral Inquiry developed the concept of traditions of enquiry embedded in ways of being and brought it back to Kuhnian paradigms and incommensurability and *Paradigm Battles!* ensured... 4/x

      two big quotes from wikipedia are justified here: despite their incommensurability... ways in which alien traditions might engage.. rationally.. via a form of immanent critique which makes use of empathetic imagination to then put the rival tradition into "epistemic crisis" 5/x

      Ah, I see! Thank you… I had forgotten this about Whose Justice? Which Rationality?, which I have not read. It’s on the list!

          worth seeing if @_ben_sweeting has something to say on this - he has done some good stuff ref Macintyre https://model.report/s/ilbqh1/cybernetics_virtue_ethics_and_design_ben_sweeting_rsd6 … and there's some interesting stuff on incommensurability in the interdiscplinary spacehttps://stream.syscoi.com/2019/04/08/incommensurability-plain-difference-and-communication-in-interdisciplinary-research/ …
