Hello,all.<br><br>
Great thread!!!<br><br>
All I can add is that many years of OS and other facilitating experiences
in different countries, cultures and languages have convinced me of the
wisdom and usefulness of the models of Radical Constructivism and the
words (in a 1996 workshop) of Heinz Von Foerster: "Reality
(and probably self-organizing systems) is created, maintained and changed
linguistically." Especially when added to the well-known
maxim of of Ludwig Wittgenstein: "The limits of a persons language
are the limits of his/her world". <br><br>
I am absolutely convinced of very few things, but one of them is that
<u>how</u> we say what we say (linguistic construction) in the beginning
stages of opening a space and <u>how</u> we construct the questions we
ask, is equally or even more important than <u>what</u> we say.<br><br>
