Frances to Boris... For a theory to be good it must at base be logically true, and to be true it must be based on a real sensible fact, whether the existence of the fact is found in an extant object or an extinct object. If this claim of mine about what makes a good theory is agreed, the issue then turns on whether a good theory can be global or not, and if not whether several good theories can exist together in application to a given field of study. If a philosophic generality or universality thus eludes a sound theory of architecture, then philosophic specialty or relativity will suffice, assuming that this may be attainable.
You wrote... I think philosophic theory of anything is possible.
