"Having made the unsettling discovery that reason
does indeed have a history, our era has become more sensible of the cultural and
linguistic contexts from which all ideas are born. No one, it seems, has ever
had a 'pure' idea, quite untinged, by the glorious but desperate struggle of
ordinary life. And this awareness has reminded us of something well known to the
ancients as well as to many non-Western cultures today; the patterns and
practices by which we live our lives will also shape our thoughts."
