How particularly con-scientia is sublated is an open question? Larry
Thanks for these questions, LarryYour use of "con-scientia" is helpful. It interrupts, or at least refracts, the discourse of scientia.
The theme for the 2012 AERA meeting is "Non Satis Scire: To Know is Not Enough," which reflects a sense of "Scire" or "scientia" as something that stops short of action/inter-action. This is how scire/scientia has come to be understood in the culture of positive science, with its disparagement of mere cognoscere / connaisance / conocimiento.
The scire/cognoscere savoir/connaitre dichotomy presupposes scientia as not con-scientia. It's good to challenge that. Scire/scientia derives from the same proto-Indoeuropean root as "scissors," so it presumes (and in positivistic science, is predicated on) the methodological pre-scission of the "con" from the "scientia"
