What are epistemological breaks?
What are epistemological breaks?
----
Epistemological rupture (or epistemological break) is a notion introduced in 1938 by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard,[1][2] and later used by Louis Althusser.[3]
Bachelard proposed that the history of science is replete with "epistemological obstacles"—or unthought/unconscious structures that were immanent within the realm of the sciences, such as principles of division (e.g., mind/body). The history of science, Bachelard asserted, consisted in the formation and establishment of these epistemological obstacles, and then the subsequent tearing down of the obstacles. This latter stage is an epistemological rupture—where an unconscious obstacle to scientific thought is thoroughly ruptured or broken away from.

O.B.
"This theory of Randomness, over time;
That relates to the reasons,
why epistemological breaks exist,
And,
Why they are a necessary function of social progress. "
Here is a video that offers an attempt to Explain it, fairly well.

who is your inner authority?
Ok
if - that is true?
Then- which version of this interior self?
1.The inner child, inner teenager, the inner curmugeon?
2. Who decides?
3. Who really drives the bus?
Does any one, singular voice have authority over the meat suit?
Is there any form interior collective consensus that defines our private subjective experience?
Or
do they, this interior collective decide who, represents the whole at any given time?
For reference, please review Daniel dennett's theory about the "fame in the brain"

what is divine violence?
What is divine violence?
Who decides?
Who is Saint lugi?
Was this guy, the commander in chief of his own destiny?
Some folks, would like to think so...
Let's ask ziezek.
"Divine violence should thus be conceived as divine in the precise sense of the old Latin motto 'vox populi, vox dei;' not in the perverse sense of 'we are doing it as mere instruments of the people's will', but as the heroic assumption of the solitude of sovereign decision. It is a decision to kill to risk or lose one's own life made in absolute solitude, with no cover in the big Other. If it is extra-moral, it is not 'immoral;' it does not give the agent license just to kill with some kind of angelic innocence. When those outside the structured social field strike 'blindly,' demanding and enacting immediate justice/vengeance, this is divine violence." Slavoj Žižek

Bertrand Russell
First published Thu Dec 7, 1995; substantive revision Tue Oct 15, 2024
Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. His most influential contributions include his championing of logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic), his refining of Gottlob Frege’s predicate calculus (which still forms the basis of most contemporary systems of logic), his theories of definite descriptions, logical atomism and logical types, and his theory of neutral monism (the view that the world consists of just one type of substance which is neither exclusively mental nor exclusively physical).

Critical Theory (Frankfurt School)
First published Tue Dec 12, 2023
[Editor’s Note: The following new entry by Robin Celikates and Jeffrey Flynn replaces the former entry on this topic by the previous author.]
“Critical theory” refers to a family of theories that aim at a critique and transformation of society by integrating normative perspectives with empirically informed analysis of society’s conflicts, contradictions, and tendencies. In a narrow sense, “Critical Theory” (often denoted with capital letters) refers to the work of several generations of philosophers and social theorists in the Western European Marxist tradition known as the Frankfurt School.
