      I'm not really a postrat and have read very little of Chapman *beyond* his few essays on Kegan. So I'll answer for me rather than them generally.

      There is a fuzzy and yet shared notion of "best" in many of these circumstances (it's easier to see in the s/w dev or engineer examples). It's certainly not some linear combination of "minimize cost, minimize probability of bridge collapse, maximize car capacity..." but...

      ... if you sat in the conference room and listened to two civil engineers argue over each of these factors, they clearly are goal-oriented. But it's often not productive to try to come up with a formal system to describe their goal!

      You can take one version of this to be a strong-form claim that a Grand Unified System *doesn't exist at all*. Another version would be a weaker-form claim that finding the Grand Unified System is probably a waste of effort relative to doing something else.

      Clearly in some fields this has been a very worthwhile endeavor. But there's a second benefit we get from this view, besides "can play xbox instead of philosophy dorking": viz. that when someone *points out* a contradiction, we don't have to conclude "oh shoot we are wrong".

      Contradiction isn't a *crisis*, even if it may be an opportunity to discover new things.

      I think that's an excessively narrow view, and not how I approached it, although it certainly is congruent with "post-rationalist" (I am neither rationalist nor post-rationalist and haven't been in the past).

          apparently postrationalists are just people with undiagnosed DSM disorders

          This is sort of part of the reason this thread's become such a mess. It's full of people trying to explain "postrationality" but actually only buy (different) parts of it themselves and believe different things...

          Like, personally I'm pretty much a materialist and scientific realist who thinks that postrat thought is useful for thinking about high-level mental models of reality, while some others appear to think there's something subjective about reality itself.
