      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The distinction between 'direct rational access' and 'imaginative mediation' is itself unstable; interpretation infiltrates all knowledge claims.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Non-codified connections become intelligible only when narrated; the narrative structure itself constitutes a form of imaginative mediation.
