Evidence

These enthusiasms and pressures for the immanent and empirical, the real emancipated from the cumbersome thickets of mediation and interpretation, stem from the thing-in-itself instant access of disintermediated circulation—and, while they rhyme with epistemology in the domain of the sciences, they strike a strange note in the arts. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 301

• QUESTION: The parallel ‘rhyme with epistemology in the sciences’ deserves unpacking — how does the scientific empiricism connection work?
