Meta-rationality, unlike pomo, “remains open to the possibility that … knowledge, truth, and objectivity might not be confined only to contingent agreements, that Western science and rationality might be discourses more privileged than some others in terms of access to reality.”
A Case for Irony by Jonathan Lear (riffing off of Kierkegaard) paints irony as a kind of reflection but somehow better, more outside-the-system than the everyday kind.pic.twitter.com/DDABQ2NMXU
fwiw Egan has a similar discussion of irony in Socrates and Kierkegaard, and in Nietzsche and Rorty etc. (I’m usually in favor of conceptual genealogy but it seemed unhelpful in this particular case fwiw)pic.twitter.com/Rux0d8aIaD
Why not? There’s a nice tradition around the word “irony” wrt “meta-rational” issues..
You mean "from K.Egan (...) on meta-rationality."
