What is "decentered"

Usage examples of "decentered".

DOOM PATROL deploys against them its vision of crazed flux in a decentered, goofily hyperreal world.

The completely decentered self is the all-embracing Self (as Zen would say, the Self that is no-self).

In other words, the more one can go within, or the more one can introspect and reflect on one's self, then the more detached from that self one can become, the more one can rise above that self's limited perspective, and so the less narcissistic or less egocentric one becomes (or the more decentered one becomes).

By acting on the self interiorly, that self is decentered, and this allows, among many other things, the continuing expansion (decentering) of moral response from egocentric to sociocentric to worldcentric (integral-aperspectival).

In other words, and I intend to emphasize this heavily, centauric vision-logic can integrate physiosphere, biosphere, and noosphere in its own compound individuality (and this is, as I suggested in chapter 5, the next major stage of leading-edge global transformation, even though most of the "work yet to be done" is still getting the globe up to decentered universal-rational pluralism in the first place).

This is why Habermas's validity claims are both immanent (contextual) and transcendent (common contextual), as McCarthy explains: "If communicative action is our paradigm, the decentered subject [the intersubjective subject] remains as a participant in social interaction mediated by language.

Habermas does not recognize any stages (in any domain) higher than mature and differentiated/integrated, decentered, autonomous communicative reason (vision-logic).

This realization came, as I said, directly from Plotinus's radically decentered and nonanthropocentric stance.

All of this radical nonanthropocentrism came, as we saw, precisely because of the radically decentered nature of Nondual mysticism.

In this particular regard, the "new" and "modern" view was precisely that held by Plotinus or Bruno or Cusanus or any other upholder of the doctrine of a radically decentered universe, and a view we have mentioned before: a radical nonanthropocentrism.

To the extent the ego lived up to its rational potential, that mature ego was worldcentrica decentered view of universal pluralism.

A sound as floating, enigmatic, and decentered -- as 'ambient' and all-embracing -- as anything by Brian Eno, but charged with a violent sense of physicality that Eno's music simply does not possess.

As Deleuze suggests, we need to replace the old phenomenological slogan ("all consciousness is consciousness of something") with a new, radically decentered one: "all consciousness is something.

With government crippled and industry brain-dead to any conceivable moral appeal, the future of decentered, autonomous cultural networks looks very bright.
