Hi Heather,<br></br>

I'm in San Francisco, away from my Follett books, but here's the first thought that comes to my mind. I think it is in the first or second chapter of Creative Experience where Follett "deconstructs" facts, and puts "experts" in their place, so to speak.

Hi Heather,<br/>
<br/>
I'm in San Francisco, away from my Follett books, but here's the first thought that comes to my mind. I think it is in the first or second chapter of Creative Experience where Follett "deconstructs" facts, and puts "experts" in their place, so to speak. I found this chapter so compelling, I wrote an article about it, which I believe is in our menu of papers and publications: Follett on Facts. One concept that comes to mind is: "a fact out of relation is not a fact at all." So, all facts have to be analyzed in their context. She ends her article with some practical advice, e.g., in situations where people disagree, and they want to uncover the "facts," it is best that they do joint fact-finding, or at least agree upon which "experts" they would both respect. And, while experts can be helpful, even the experts disagree.<br/> Then, even when people agree on the "facts," it does not mean that they agree about what to do about the facts.

Good luck! Albie
