The new name we should give to conversion is change; the new way we should describe change is experimenting with beliefs. And the imperfect self could be called simply the self that wants something else, the self that wants something new or better.
On Getting Better
Adam Phillips
The world, my friend Govinda, is not imperfect, or on a slow path towards perfection: no, it is perfect in every moment, all sin already carries the divine forgiveness in itself, all small children already have the old person in themselves, all infants already have death, all dying people the eternal life.
A systematic description of different views of how to align the corporate and the social can be based on a typology of four ways of thinking, introduced by the Austrian philosopher of information Wolfgang Hofkirchner. __He distinguishes four possible ways of relating two phenomena with different degrees of differentiation: reductionism, projectionism, dualism, and dialectics__ (Hofkirchner 2003: 133). Reductionism reduces the higher differentiated phenomenon to the lower differentiated one. Projectionism in contrast projects the higher degree of differentiation on the lower differentiated side. Dualism separates both phenomena from each other and does not recognise any interrelations. Dialectical thinking on the contrary considers how both sides mutually shape each other.
