Is There a Grand Narrative Reconstruction?

A. A. Dowd: I think a kiggy thing for me is really been starting to believe, or have faith somehow, that an integration is possible. That's this idea of first principles way of thinking about it. Under beneath it is some fundamental truth about how life works, what it means to be alive and how to live a good life,. And those principles, you know, you can have a conversation where people realize that there is a common principle between the two things they're talking about. The post modern sensibility was much more about trying to sort of find radical alterities., she says.
