- “Is nature in itself fragmentable, and thereby non-distortively describable, or is it our linguistic description process which makes nature appear fragmentable?” (L. L FGREN, 2000, p. 15)
This ontological class riddle is obviously insoluble. In any case we generally approach phenomena in a fragmented way (as good conceptual descendants of Descartes). And, of course, fragmentation severs links , and also partly disgregates our understanding .
