I just listened. Fascinating. As far as the respectful goes, I tend
to think that something like that first involves reading carefully
the scholar taken up. I was not particularly convinced that this was
the case.
However, what made it fascinating were such statements as "science is
cognitively impartial" and Descartes with his impartial and
evaluative view from the outside was, in contradistinction to Geertz,
"on the right track."
