"Maybe society didn't recognize their illness but are you saying that =
society
caused their illness? Please help me here."
Margaret, the above comment is probally a part of different "world =
views" so to speak. More and more I am leaning against the =
enlightenment idea of the subject interacting with the world. In this =
sense it becomes increasingly difficult to talk of the individual as =
seperate from or a priori to society. So, it is not as much an =
assertion that society caused it,as it is questioning the division of =
society-individual in the first place. In this sense, an individual =
act, no matter how horrid, is a mirror of society itself. It then is =
not a cause-effect because that would need to imply a seperation in the =
first place. In this sense, it does not assume the "soul" as in a more =
religous world view, as a priori to society. How we go about making =
meaning then can not be seperated from our "world view", in that it =
contrains how we go about making meaning, mine included. =20
