Morison (1965) Toward a common scale of measurement

Morison, R. S. (1965). 'Toward a common scale of measurement'. Daedalus 94: 245-262.

'We seem to know more and more about how to live without finding out any more about why it is worthwhile to live. ... The main point to bear in mind, however, is that the primary purpose of both revealed knowledge and of artistic knowledge is to make the individual feel better about the world as it is. The emphasis (in art) is on altering or enlarging the individual's experience of the world, not on changing the world itself to serve man's desires. ... [T]here should be nothing disjunctive about a culture which sets out on the one hand to control the external world for man's welfare and at the same time attempts to adjust man to what is unadjustable in his condition. Experience has shown that he is not likely to do either one well enough to render the other superfluous.'

Cited in Weick (1979) The Social Psychology of Organizing

Language is also a kind of structure which constrains the ways we think and talk. Nonetheless, we can never feel at ease when feeling constrained.
We are so creative that we can improvise new meanings while following the practical rules, such as, grammer.
Sources of such uneasiness seem to deserve close examination in order to enlarge our day-to-day experience.
