is, in practice, something rather complex. For example, between the permitted and the prohibited, one establishes not a binary, but an average considered as optimal on the one hand, and, on the other, a bandwidth of the acceptable that must not be exceeded.

Finally, third, instead of a binary division between the permitted and the prohibited, one establishes an average considered as optimal on the one hand, and, on the other, a bandwidth of the acceptable that must not be exceeded (Foucault 1978/2008 : 20)

is, in science, escaped and defied because science creates novel configurations, novel creatures, new life, new ways for atoms to exist and move, and new problems that create new solutions that are new entities.

I refer not only to their construction of theoretical statements about nature. Scientist also construct and create new entities. They create novel creatures, new life, new ways for atoms to exist and move, and new problems that create new solutions that are new entities. These in turn, change our societies and cultural practices. Scientific constructions defy the human-nature binary, the socail-natural binary, in their production and their effects' (Fujimura 1998:349)

is invoked not to construct a dualism but rather, to pass through it. We employ a dualism of models only in order to arrive at a process that challenges all models.

We invoke one dualism only in order to challenge another. We employ a dualism of models only in order to arrive at a process that challenges all models. Each time, mental correctives are necessary to undo the dualisms we had no wish to construct but through which we pass'(D&G 'thousand' 20).

is not a pair of opposites but a more complex relationship. Light is not the opposite of darkness, but, in the essence of light, darkness is destroyed and overcome.

In the center of his work, Parmenides uproots the dualism of Being and not-Being, truth and appearance, light and darkness: Being does not exist because it is not not-Being (since not-Being would then be necessary for its Being), and light is not essentially the opposite of darkness... rather, in the essence of light, darkness is destroyed and overcome. (Blumenberg 1993 [1957] : 32)

is the binary is such that there is no idea that does not carry in itself a possible refutation, no word that does not imply its opposite.

There is no idea that does not carry in itself a possible refutation, no word that does not imply its opposite.

is the endless repetition of yes and no which produces an extremely practical scientific method.

By the endless repetition of the choice betweeen yes and no an extremely practical scientific method is born, the purpose of which is to reach the truth, if in a gradual, piecemeal fashion. Rationalism is firmly based on this fundamental dualism' (Kurokawa 1988:24).

is western urge to divide all of existence into either yes or no, interior or exterior, mind or body, the warmth that lies at the border between the two extremes is lost, sacrificed to rationality.

In Western culture, particularly in the currents of modern thought that are based on rationalism, it is considered important to clearly differentiate between any two distinct phenomena. But by dividing all of existence into either yes or no, interior or exterior, mind or body, the warmth that lies at the boder between the two extremes is lost, sacrificed to rationality' (Kurokawa 1988:19)
