Epi-thinking

Michael Lissack has developed a new site which he calls 'epi-thinking' for 'evoking a new way of thinking which recognizes that:
  1.              Actions have a fundierung relationship with context and
  2.              Cognition has a fundierung relationship with semiotic affordances.
 For Lissak 'fundierung (following Hegel) is 'the "overlooked taken for granted" things which underlie an action or understanding -- and have the power to change things merely by being paid attention to.' 

More background can be found from the Modes of Explanation site.
