But, respectfully, considering your new concerns perhaps you shall also reconsider your own understanding of indeterminacy. After all, the undecidibility of legal arguments that you explained so convincingly some years ago, can solely be resolved factually, that means, through real political practice submitted to real structural constrains. The historical narratives you mention, either liberating or oppressing, are in sum, and ultimately, a form of discursive compromise with reality. Dear Prof. Koskenniemi,
