My German is not the best, but it is sufficient to recognize "nichtwissen" had the editor of this proposed book (who is German) used it. But he used the English literal translation which set me off in odd directions. "I'm curious about the article you are going to write." I too am curious.

I never had better lessons to improve my english. »Nescience« is in german a quite familiar word »Nicht-Wissen« and it´s quite another meaning than ignorance. I´m curious about the article you are going to write. a hug florian * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
