The "pedantic risk"

"The assumption of 'intellectualism' goes contrary to the facts of
what is primarily experienced. For things are objects to be treated,
used, acted upon and with, enjoyed and endured, even more than things
to be known. They are things HAD before they are things cognized...the
isolation of traits characteristic of objects known, and then defined
as the sole ultimate realities, accounts for the denial to nature of
the characters which make things lovable and contemptible, beautiful
and ugly, adorable and awful. It accounts for the belief that nature
is an indifferent, dead mechanism; it explains why characteristics
that are the valuable and valued traits of objects in actual
experience are thought to create a fundamentally troublesome
philosophical problem." -- John Dewey in "Experience and Nature",
quoted in "Enacting silence: Residual categories as a challenge for
ethics, information systems, and communication" by Susan Leigh Star
and Geoffrey C. Bowker.
