Art Cannot Change The World, But It

By Virtue Of The Way It Has Organized Its Technological Base, Contemporary Industrial Society Tends To Be Totalitarian. For "totalitarian" Is Not Only A Terroristic Political Coordination Of Society, But Also A Non-terroristic Economic-technical Coordination Which Operates Through The Manipulation Of Needs By Vested Interests.

In [aristotle's] Formal Logic, Thought Is Organized In A Manner Very Different From That Of The Platonic Dialogue. In This Formal Logic, Thought Is Indifferent Toward Its Objects. Whether They Are Mental Or Physical, Whether They Pertain To Society Or To Nature, They Become Subject To The Same General Laws Of Organization, Calculation, And Conclusion - But They Do So As Fungible Signs Or Symbols, In Abstraction From Their Particular "substance." This General Quality (quantitative Quality) Is The Precondition Of Law And Order - In Logic As Well As In Society - The Price Of Universal Control.

Contemporary Industrial Society Is Now Characterised More Than Ever By "the Need For Stupefying Work Where It Is No Longer A Real Necessity."

The Societal Division Of Labor Obtains The Dignity Of An Ontological Condition.

The Spontaneous Reproduction Of Superimposed Needs By The Individual Does Not Establish Autonomy; It Only Testifies To The Efficacy Of The Control.
