thematic conceptualisation, or as per Heidegger a system of categories. It is possible, as per
Rorty [1979] that the realist / relativist dialectic is more related to epistemic justification
and may be another possible axis to this model.
2.4.2.06 In Model H2, shown in Graphic 2h, a second axis of ‘realist-relativist’ for
epistemic justification has been included into the mode l. In this mode l the degree ‘x’ is
inversely variable depende nt upo n the perception of the po ssibility (the be lief) that a
subjective-realist or a relativist-objectivist epistemological justification being feasible. (as
would be indicated by x=90 degrees). It could be possible in the model to have all of the
dialectic epistemological parameters, from the subjectivist-objectivist and relativist-realist
dialectics already shown, to the source orientated rationalist-empiricist (a priori- a
posteori) dialectic and whatever other analytical dialectic used in epistemology to be
depicted, as axes, in a similar manner. Again the value of ‘x’ between each of the axes is
inversely proportional to the probability of any conjunctive status between opposing ends
of each compared axis.
2.4.2.07 The aspects of ontological construction as discussed in section 2.4.1.08 abo ve
can be graphically shown in Model H3, see Graphic 2i, in that on the objectivist side of
the circle the lines demarcating the ontological domains are clear and defined through the
mutual exclusivity of the domains. As the domains move towards the subjectivist it is
possible that the lines separating the domains are less clear and, even, may not exist.
2.4.2.08 In order to relate this model to the Model A used in section 2, in Model H3 in
Graphic 2i the rounded rectangle of the Practitioners A has been included, allowing for
both subjective and objective epistemic justification, by the discipline theorising on the
work of the practitioner, that is accepted (through the strategic apparatus of an episteme)
into the discipline. The outer line of the discipline is the defining line of what is accepted
into the discipline from the area of the practitioner. An example of Episteme Two is shown
as an objective epistemic justification drawing on the ‘Discipline of mathematics’.
