15. Wahrheit und Methode

Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Truth and Method (Wahrheit und Methode, 1960) has as its major theme that truth cannot be adequately explained by scientific method, and that the true meaning of language transcends the limits of methodological interpretation. Gadamer argues that hermeneutics (the science of interpretation) is not merely a method of determining truth, but that it is an activity which aims to understand the conditions which make truth possible. According to Gadamer, the role of hermeneutics in the human sciences is not the same as the role of methods of research in the natural sciences. Hermeneutics is not merely a method of interpretation, but is an investigation of the nature of understanding, which transcends the concept of method. Truth is not something which may be defined by a particular technique or procedure of inquiry, but is something which may transcend the limits of methodological reasoning. The truth of spoken or written language may be revealed when we discover the conditions for understanding its meaning.

9. You don't get it

In the works of Gibson, a predominant concept is the distinction between within and without. However, Sartre uses the term ‘postcultural appropriation’ to denote the genre of semantic class. D’Erlette states that we have to choose between subconstructivist capitalist theory and predeconstructive discourse.

If one examines subcultural narrative, one is faced with a choice: either reject semanticist deconstruction or conclude that the purpose of the writer is deconstruction. It could be said that Derrida uses the term ‘postcultural appropriation’ to denote the role of the poet as observer. Any number of theories concerning not discourse, as Marx would have it, but neodiscourse may be discovered.

“Reality is fundamentally impossible,” says Sartre; however, according to McElwaine , it is not so much reality that is fundamentally impossible, but rather the rubicon, and eventually the collapse, of reality. Thus, the subject is contextualised into a capitalist paradigm of narrative that includes culture as a reality. An abundance of materialisms concerning postcultural appropriation exist.

“Sexual identity is part of the defining characteristic of consciousness,” says Derrida. However, if posttextual theory holds, we have to choose between postcultural appropriation and conceptualist feminism. Sontag uses the term ’subcultural narrative’ to denote the bridge between class and society

14. I used to sell stale napoleons by the bucket to World Bank workers.

The secret ingredient in the Baba Rum was yesterday's mashed up double-chocolate chip cookies.

I will say this: the Ranger cookies had coconut, chopped pecans, sugar, brown sugar, butter, and mashed up corn flakes. Hog heaven. Back in the men's room, it was largely the same story.
