Restricted and general economies

Continuing this post:

"Another notable distinction between restricted and general economies arises from the different ways in which oppositional relation must be correspondingly structured. A restricted economy imposes a structuring principle establishing a strong polarity of opposites and clear lines of choice. The structural tension in a restricted economy between opposites such as true and false or fact and interpretation operates with a clarity facilitating either/or alternatives and simplified decision-making. In a general economy, however, every oppositional structure submits to a displacement. This displacement involves a reconfiguration of the dynamic play between opposites. In a general economy, an absolute division between opposites fails to be extreme enough in its logic to accord with the lessons of experience. [...] A general economy displaces discrete and essential difference between opposites with a new structure presenting a tension between elements both different yet connected, both penetrated to the core each by the other yet irreducible one to the other" (25). --Gregory Desilet, "Radical atheism and new spirituality."
