The Levels of Reality Construction The point I am making is that we may profitably consider each level of reality construction — from the levels of biologically constituted realities down through the various levels of cultural constructions of reality — as levels in the diminution of reality (see also Adzema, 1994, 1995, 2014, 2015). This focusing on the specifics to the exclusion of more wholistic perspectives may have more “biological” usefulness. But the point is that any scientific endeavor that would seek to be anything more than merely pragmatic (and actually venture after truth) must undo or reverse that diminution — must indeed be aware of the self-constructed nature of the creations with which it is normally concerned. Paradigm Relativity The upshot of all of this is that the elements (“particles”) operating within any particular paradigm are closed to each other, “sealed.” On the other hand, standing on the basis of a “deeper,” or more encompassing, paradigm; translation, discourse, and transfer of information can truly occur.

However, looking at these same cultures within the playing field of the physical or biological (that is to say, standing on those “brute facts”), we see that discourse, transfer, and translation occur once again.2 For this reason also, we can see why it seems that biological anthropologists and primatologists are so much less bothered by issues of epistemological relativism than are cultural anthropologists. But then, standing on these “brute” (in other words, biological) facts, we are confronted with a new relativism — that regarding the worldviews of one species over against another. We see that species are epistemologically sealed from one another and that a trans-species reality is seen to be as impossible as a transcultural one was while standing within the playing field of culture.

EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 26 …science as being merely one more part of a culture and with no more claim to validity than any other view. Levels of Usefulness, Paradigm Comparisons It seems to me that science has a greater, though not ultimate, claim to validity to the extent it includes and integrates more experiential “facts” in its reality constructions ... the degree of scientific validity — from good ethnoscience to bad ethnoscience — being the number of experiential facts it includes and integrates. Cultural constructions can therefore be compared, although such comparisons do not render any one of them, including science, Ultimate Truth, only “righter” in relation to the others, that is to say, more correct. What follows is that whoever accepts the “larger,” more encompassing, more inclusive perspective is necessarily the one who has more “power” ultimately, in that this one’s view allows for more accurate predictive and remedial power. That is why, eventually if not immediately, more inclusive paradigms and their proponents attain dominance.

A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
