There are a lot of other such organized social mental
disciplines to include here, esp.: psychology.
And, even in physics, while the source of
funding probably does not affect the number of
time units passed for a given spherical weight
to roll a given number of spatial units down a
given inclined plane (along with lots of other
"parameters" being "equal")..., *what goes on in
the Physics Lab* (which is the only place physics
can exist in the world!) *is* highly influenced
by those political conditions.
Imagine a world
in which the "graduate assistants" made about
the same income as the "Full Professors", worked
about the same number of hours, lived in
about the same housing, played about the same
tennis, golf, etc., etc. -- a world
in which, as Josef Pieper wrote:
Leisure is the basis of culture
(See my: http://www.cloud9.net/~bradmcc/culture.html )
The whole human world is *political* (I think
Castoriadis does a fine job of elaboratng
this obvious but largely unmentioned and/or covered-over
point).
