enlightenment discussion

I'm intrigued by and greatly enjoying the discussion unfolding between Thomas Basbøll and joe-london in the comments section of the post I left the other day asserting that the Western Enlightment isn't simply one ideology among others. I'm looking forward to jumping in to the discussion, but I think I will be able to speak more clearly after a trip to the dentist tommorrow morning . . .

Get well soon. I put that jaw sling in the same category as the old steak-on-the-black-eye trick, which also suggests a distinctly non-Wittgensteinian mysticism of carnal pain (while it probably has an explanation as simple as the ice Laura refers to.) Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks, Thomas -- that made me laugh (though it hurt to do so). What if, instead of ice, the jaw sling holds a steak . . . ?
