RedOrbit NEWS | Victorian Relativity: Radical Thought and Scientific Discovery (3321 words)
Herbert's point is that we should also consider the history of the concept and the genealogy of its generation.
Herbert passionately supports a position that he admits flirts with incoherence, because "the discoveries modern relativity has produced in many scientific fields [...] flow from this intuitive revulsion from 'absolutism'-a revulsion on one level from its intellectual coarseness and ultimately, most profoundly, from its implicit and often explicit code of punitive and purifying violence" (26).
Herbert's desire to find a way to prove that a connection exists between belief in absolute truth and coercive force leads him to elide the differences between technology and science-a distinction that such earlier critics of Enlightenment thought as Theodor Adorno, for example, were very concerned to maintain.
