why don't we call it "capitalist rationality"?

Ken and Jurriaan,
I don't have the time to respond to this at length because of
these bloody homework assignments. I have forgoten what sleeping
well meant since the beginning of this quarter. But let me say
this: I never claimed that "western rationality" is a "western"
phenomenon. I use it as a name only. And at times I use it
intentionally to give the word "western" a derogatory meaning to
take revenge from you westerners. Any objections to that?
Back to work, that is, homework and I tell you, you don't want to
do this at my age.
Sabri
