Epistemic FusionA Story by anandboseEpistemic Fusion is a new philosophical jargonEpistemic
Fusion gave birth out of my own thinking and my interactions with 8th
9th and 10th graders. Their science and social science textbooks
depict an onslaught of a mechanistic, scientific and rationalistic worldview.
All these world views are presented as half baked formulas. I wondered how to
maneuver and not ruffle the feathers of their already established Theo-centric worldview.
I became a tight-rope-walker not disturbing their water of faith and let them
adjust to both the worldviews. This I call as Epistemic Fusion a term I got
from Foucault’s epistemic rupture. © 2019 anandbose |
