MODERNITY AND RATIONALE

INTRODUCTION


INTRODUCTION


The following is a collection of texts that present a range of rationales that have been crystallized in the time leading up to and including the modern.

These are a number of general parameters, references, theories, norms, values, perspectives, beliefs, orientations, explanations, logics, typologies, paradigms, discourses, morals, conclusions, starting points, definitions, categorizations, approaches, equations, rationalizations, rationales, meanings, causal relations, cultures, systems, patterns, developments, worldviews, arrangements, understandings, expressions, communications, realities, diagnoses, scales, or hypotheses.

As such, it is an introduction to a segment of human experiences through time.

While some texts have an explicit connection to religion and God, other texts are explicitly based on human experience independent of this connection.



Social science

The texts should form the basis for reflection and discussion about the rationales, their presentation in the texts and other approaches to these parameters.
