Example text
One simple example will suffice to illustrate. Insulin, the drug to manage Type 1 diabetes, was serially discovered in work from 1916 through 1923. Despite billions of dollars of research, nothing comparable in the management or the conceptual 39 P. MURPHY understanding of the mechanics of the condition has been forthcoming since. This type of story repeats too often across the arts and the sciences to allay the nagging concerns that there is a problem. 6 Its pandering to government for money became both unsettling and unseemly.
In a similar vein, Barry Allen (2004: 173, 184, 195, 228, 229) argues that human neurology depends on the artefacts we posit. This is quite unlike animal neurology. As is well-known, among the hominids, the human species was distinguished by the enlargement of its brain. This offered homo sapiens the facility of billions of billions of additional neural connections. But to make those additional connections useful, they had to be ordered. The many additional possible pathways needed models of architectonic structure.
There is a circle that unites making, knowing, order and aesthetics. The notion that what we know is what we make is an old view. 3 It was almost eclipsed in the second half of the twentieth century as analytic and deconstructive, structural and cultural, post-structural and post-Marxian schools of philosophy and sociology became fascinated by linguistic and discourse models of society. Although they were also touched by the fascination with language, the most durable counterpoint to the enchantments of discourse was a formidable strand in North American philosophy that extended from John Dewey and George Herbert Mead (1934) via the philosophical Pragmatists and the Chicago School of Sociology and that absorbed along the way subtle influences from Hegel and Simmel coalescing into a tradition or attitude that still resonates in latter-day figures such as Barry Allen (2004) and Richard Sennett (1977, 1990).
