Thank you very much! I'll be kind and not answer since this is clearly not something I can not do.
Susannah Bayley (asker) Oct 25, 2010:
"Les intérêts dominants de connaissance correspondant à la science objectivante d’un côté et de la compréhension hermétique de l’autre côté, s’excluent en même temps qu’ils se complètent."

objectivizing science

This is from the English translation of Truth and Method by H-G Gadamer, an author who explored the 'objectivity' of science and how it 'objectivizes' our perception of the world helping us go beyond the subjective 'horizon' of experience. I've used the English translation as reference for two translation jobs I did for a Romanian publisher.

- Consequently, objectivizing science regards the linguisticality of the natural experience of the world as a source of prejudices. With its methods of precise mathematical measurement the new science, as we learn from the example of Bacon, had to make room for its own constructs by directly opposing the prejudice of language and its naive teleology.
