ABSTRACT

In the last paper in this collection (The Organizational and the Scientific), two orders of existence were discussed, the ‘organizational’ that so very frequently impresses itself upon our naive view and the ‘scientific’ that allows us to predict and then, with luck, control. Examples given of the ‘organizational’ were the existence in our lives of ‘things’ or ‘objects’, ‘life’, ‘freedom’, ‘intrinsic properties’ (such as ‘she is beautiful’, beauty resides ‘in her’) and the formal, organizational role. This last – being a ‘foreman’, for instance – was the starting point of the earlier paper and so gave this order of events its name.
