RMP:
"The intellectual level of patterns, in the historic process of freeing
itself from its parent social level, namely the church, has tended to invent
a myth of independence from the social level for its own benefit. Science
and reason, this myth goes, come only from the objective world, never from
the social world. The world of objects imposes itself upon the mind with no
social mediation whatsoever. It is easy to see the historic reasons for this
myth of independence. Science might never have survived without it. But a
close examination shows it isn't so."
(LILA, Chapter 12)
Sounds to me like science and reason (EVEN of the S/O kind) are social
systems.
