Joseph Margolis and the fragility of the human world

<br/><br/> Hybrid and emergent, artifactual and cultural without ceasing to be natural, the human world as Joseph Margolis understands it is also, in this very fact, in its various dimensions, a fragile, unstable world in perpetual reconstruction. Scientific and philosophical inquiry cannot free itself from a condition of impermanence where flux prevails over fixity, nor can it emancipate itself from a horizon of symbiotic discourse rooted in ordinary language. Characterized by their mongrel nature and their role in a conversational mid-world, human languages also respond, in their very indeterminacy, to the demands of shared and changing forms of life. Finally, human beings, enculturated and enlanguaged, remain inscribed in an intentional and historical world, which they incorporate and transform.
