Subject: about parolgy and paralogy


Hello everyone, 

I just read a passage about Lyotard: 


At one point he(Lyotard) cites as desirable
the replacement of the 'expert's homology' 
				 ^^^^^^^^
with the 'inventor's parology': could this 
	  	     ^^^^^^^^	
be an attempt to justify the democratization
of all knowledge claims or perhaps a contemporary
invocation of the principle of 'falsification'?
It is, of course, neither. 
(Chris Jenks, _Culture_ p.147 )


Is there anyone who can tell me the meaning
of 'homology' and 'parology'.
(and the relation between 'parology' and 
'paralogy'?)

Thanks a lot!

I am not a member of this list,
so please anwser to my emailbox, 
(deadhead-AT-neto.net)
THANKS!
