Journal of Scriptural Reasoning
Scriptural Pragmatism in Reponse to Hopes for SR (2010)2010 •
From 2010, this is a very long response to two issues of the Journal of Scriptural Reasoning: “The Roots of Scriptural Reasoning” (Vol 9:1) and “The Fruits…” (Vol 8:2). The intellectual work of SR tends to be pragmatic, reparative, and genealogical. To be clarified in this essay, “pragmatic inquiry” means something like “inquiry stimulated by attention to some publicly visible problematic situation or case or event of suffering or woundedness; the success and meaning of this inquiry are judged by how well the inquiry contributes to the possibility of repairing these problems or sufferings.” “Reparative inquiry” is in part a synonym for pragmatic inquiry, but in part I believe it indicates inquiry that is itself “an activity of repair,” while pragmatic inquiry could refer to research that generates possibilities for repair but is not itself a performance of repair per se. “Genealogical inquiry” refers in this context to an instrument of pragmatic inquiry: an effort to recommend avenues of repair by framing a problematic situation as if it were the fruit of an errant practice whose historical and logical antecedents could be located. The genealogist attempts to locate an antecedent rule or pattern of practice that appears free of the “error” displayed in the problematic situation. In the essay I review each entry for each of these volumes. In the process, I offer a somewhat long-winded series of analyses of SR’s patterns of reasoning or “logic” (in the Deweyan sense). I lean primarily on Charles Peirce as a resource for formalizing or diagramming these patterns. There is a pragmaticist critique of binary reasoning, followed by an application of pragmatism to “reparative reasoning,” followed by a “scriptural pragmatism’ (as I introduced in the 1998 Peirce, Pragmatism, and the Logic of Scripture). Toward the end of the essay I try to respond to criticisms of SR out of participants in the Radical Orthodoxy of John Milbank and others. I address SR Journal essays by: Jacob Goodson, Isra Yazicioglu, William J. Danaher, Chris Hackett, H. Peter Kang, Walter Brueggeman, Daniel A. Smith, Rebekah Ann Eklund, Jim Fodor, and Samuel Wells.
The representation, evocation and suggestion of wind in the visual arts touches on fundamental ideas relating to the anthropology of the senses and their descent into the visual medium. Wind is a natural phenomenon that plays on the entire sensorium of the body. Wind is tactile. Wind can be heard. Wind carries scents. Wind is a cosmic breath that envelops and penetrates us. Wind nourishes or destroys. Even our own bodies produce and inhale wind. The wind is related to the breath that exits and enters our bodies, even to the gases our organs emit. Wind is both the lower – the anal eruption – and the higher – the breath we need. But there is also a third “wind” in our body. In the Greek philosophy of Aristotle (384-322 BC), the concept of pneuma is central to both breath and spirit. It is the vital energy of life, literally, the “gas” that occupies the brain and is responsible for thought, perception and movement. One receives this vital energy at birth and each human being refreshes this energy continually by drawing breath.

Watching the seemingly effortless combination of grace, technique and power of a true judo expert in action it would be very easy (but very wrong) to underestimate the intense physical and mental demands that judo makes upon its exponents. Achieving excellence in judo demands considerable single-mindedness, and achieving mastery of all of the throwing, grappling and striking techniques that makes up the discipline demands serious and arduous training over an extended period of time under the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable teacher.
Political transitions are processes, not momentary events. They can take a quarter of century if not more. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is as much an expression of a global trend driven by economic, political and geopolitical uncertainty and security and safety fears that produces lack of confidence in the system and existing leadership as are Donal Trump, the 2011 Arab popular revolts; the rise of the far right in Europe; tensions between concepts of freedom, privacy and security; and the wind in the sails of democratically elected, illiberal leaders such as Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, Vladimir Putin in Russia, Benyamin Netanyahu in Israel and Narendra Modi in India.
