"Relationality" and Use in Science

["Jaime A. Headden" <qilongia@yahoo.com>]

  You know, I alwasy felt this term was a bit shaky. Some research has
shown that I was right: relationality is a term used in sociological
circles, rather than as anything pure in scientific form as the concept of
one structure or idea to another. Here are a few examples of the use of
"relationality" and its inapplicability to the sentence quotes above:

  Stephan Mitchell wrote on this mein and titled his book:

  Mitchell, S.A. 2000. _Relationality: From Attachment to
Intersubjectivity
  (Relational Perspectives Book Series, Vol 20)_. (The Analytic Press
  [Hillsdale, NJ, USA].) 200pp.

  Relationality has also been used in physics versus relativity. Check:

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
