| Description |
Descartes " The mechanistic idea of order can be traced to Descartes, around 1640. His idea was: if you want to know how something works, you can find out by pretending it is a machine. ... It ws because of this kind of Cartesian thought that one was able to find out how things work in the modern sense. Howerver, the crucial thing which Descartes understood very well, but which we most often forget, is that the process is only a method. ... sometime in the 20th century, people shifted into a new mental state that began treating reality as if this mechanical picture really were the nature of things, as if everything really were a machine. The appearance of this 20th-century mechanistic view had two tremendous consequences, both devastating for artists. The first was that the "I" went out of our world-picture. ... The second devastating thing that happened with the onset of the 20th-century mechanistic world-picture was that clear value about value went out of the world. And with these two developments, the idea of order fell apart." The Nature of Order , Book One: The Phenomenom of Life by Christopher Alexander

" In May, 2006 I spent a few days around Munich, Germany. I visited Dachau, and the Deutsches Museum. I also did some hiking in Bavaria and spent a day in Ulm. After that I went over to Scotland and England for a couple of weeks. " |
