The Great Divide
"The differences in the effects of science and technology are so enormous that it seems absurd not to look for enormous causes....It seems to me that the only way to escape the simplistic relativist position is to avoid both "materialist" and "mentalist" explanations at all costs and to look instead for more parsimonious accounts, which are empirical through and through, yet able to explain the vast effects of science and technology. It seems to me that the most powerful explanations, that is those that generate the most out of the least, are the ones that take writing and imaging craftsmanship into account."
