Abstract
Very generally problems to do with sociogenesis are to do with the development of our relations to our surroundings. And these problems are connected with those to do with the relation—some would say, the contest—between objectivism and relativism, or that between realism and social constructionism: the problem of finding some basis somewhere to which to appeal in warranting one’s claims to be offering knowledge of at least some kind of worth to others. Knowledge is thought to be of worth to others if it is knowledge of circumstances or states of affairs “outside” of oneself, rather than being merely knowledge of one’s own, “inner,” personal desires or opinions.
