'It' is not a primary word. Primary words pertain to relationships; not to elements. The scientist is not an 'I' which is separate from the 'It' which is analyzed. Both participate in relationships with essential uncertainties. The nature of the 'I' and the nature of the 'It' depend on the nature of the relationship in which they become known. By tradition the scientist considers the elements as primary, and that the nature of reality is to be known in terms of the primary elements. Such a perspective ignores the primacy of knowledge-in-relation. Knowledge comes through the speaking of the primary words 'I-Thou' and 'I-It'. The primary words intimate relationships which are reciprocal. There is no real 'I' in isolation. The nature of the 'I' depends upon the primary words which are spoken. "The primary word 'I-Thou' can only be spoken with the whole being." "The primary word "I-It' can never be spoken with the whole being." Those who form the habit of speaking only the primary word 'I-It' cease to live in failing to speak the primary word "I-Thou'. Cause and effect dominate the nature of reality for those who speak only the primary word 'I-It'-- -and real persons are not. The state of consciousness of those who habitually speak the primary word 'I-It'---is quite different than the state of consciousness of those who commonly speak the primary word 'I-Thou'. "The 'I' of the primary word 'I-Thou' is different than the 'I' of the primary word 'I-It'". The natural scientist presumes the prior existence of a nature of the reality which is approached for analysis. The nature of reality is presumably independent of the annalist and his or her way of participating in reality. Via collusion the essential uncertainties of life are not real, and so life is not real. The crisis in the nature of and role of modern science has its roots in scientists and technocrats who compulsively speak only the primary word 'I-It'. The crisis may be resolved only by attractive scientists who are free and choose to speak the primary word 'I-Thou'. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
