no more science and art

We will have to reformulate many (maybe all) of the categories we have use until now. An example: we will have to replace the category of "subject-object" with the category of "intersubjectivity," which will invalidate the distinction between science and art: science will emerge as an intersubjective fiction, art as an intersubjective discipline in the search for knowledge; thus science will become a form of art and art a variant of the sciences.
