Crumbling Pieces of a Handrail for Language
Summary
"The realities of space and time are dissolved, reality is constantly waiting for new definition, since science has completely stereotyped it. The relationship of trust between ego and language and object is deeply shaken." (Ingeborg Bachmann)
What are the peculiarities, hardships, pleasures of scientific writing? How can it open up, become clearer, find balance between explaining, describing, naming? Clear language explores and clarifies the object, extreme abstract jargon puts up facades that obscure our views. And anyway: A good text takes its time.
