I usually start with the historical materialism perspective of the idea. A confluence of forces socioeconomically, so that any idea picks up associations like a piece of sticky candy. I teach students any ideology is a metanarrative and that their ideology is a matter of the historical materialism's impact on that idea fitting that logic system. Then we go into the critique using that all ideologies are meta narratives that have to marginalize any contrary ideas that don't fit the system as the other. Therefore, like you said Kenneth Udut-it's a matter of tracing the lineage of your logic system, but revealing it's own linguistic and abstract limitations due to it's construct as a system. ---- lol, I bet. I totally relate to what [1]Kenneth Udut is saying about idea sources. Maybe that is why I have taken my ideas and moved into fiction. I got frustrated realizing how often I was chasing in the footsteps of both classical and continental philosophers. Still haven't found that dang Odysseus poem.. But I will.
