Umberto Eco's written persuasively and at length about these topics. It may sound silly to some to make quibbles over differentiation (see the flak "political correctness" gets), but, at the end of the day, words matter.Daniel Chavez Moranhttp://danielchavezmoran.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-40731530259596180802011-09-29T17:01:12.627-07:002011-09-29T17:01:12.627-07:00I've been introduced through my work at the Un...I've been introduced through my work at the University of Minnesota's Center for Integrative Leadership to a similar concept in distinguishing "paradoxes to be balanced" and "problems to be managed."
