Converting and/or Reinventing Some Non-“dialectical” Theories and Models or Studies as One Dot

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover One-dot Theory Described, Explained, Inferred, Justified, and Applied

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Philosophy ((BRIEFSPHILOSOPH,volume 3))

Abstract

In the last chapter, I did not say much about theories. I also skipped the intellectual exercise of conceptualizing models/patterns/modes as one dot. Theories and models are related. The application of them is to dissolve a turbid and perilous ocean of myriad contradictions. Many academics and experts plus administrators to this day do not know how to dissolve the simple contradiction between saying yes to an issue this morning and saying no to the issue in the afternoon. Sad to say, it is usually power prevails, and the academic who is in charge of the administrative just cheat himself or herself, for unable to convince others, including the students.

    According to James C. Hsiung, “‘[w]haling regime’ is so-called because it governs the catching of whales (note the gerund, or verbal noun, ‘whaling,’ which comes from the verb ‘to whale’). Whaling regime deals with the setting of limits on the number of catches in whale-hunting, etc. But, unless you are dealing with a regime that is meant to govern the catching of pandas, you cannot say “pandaing” regime. I assume you are talking about the preservation and protection of pandas, a near-extinct species whose numbers are much less than whales, and whose survivalability is much less than that of whales. The intent of such regime is to prevent and ban the hunting of pandas, not to set the limit of the number of pandas that one can catch, as in the whaling regime. Hence, it should be something like ‘panda-preserving regime,’ or ‘panda-saving regime.’ Email from him, dated August 18, 2009.
