Free Election Of Masters Does Not Abolish

In The Realm Of Culture, The New Totalitarianism Manifests Itself Precisely In A Harmonizing Pluralism, Where The Most Contradictory Works And Truths Peacefully Coexist In Indifference.

Many, And I Think The Determining, Constitutive Facts Remain Outside The Reach Of The Operational Concept. And By Virtue Of This Limitation This Methodological Injunction Against Transitive Concepts Which Might Show The Facts In Their True Light And Call Them By Their True Name The Descriptive Analysis Of The Facts Blocks The Apprehension Of Facts And Becomes An Element Of The Ideology That Sustains The Facts. Proclaiming The Existing Social Reality As Its Own Norm, This Sociology Fortifies In The Individuals The "faithless Faith" In The Reality Whose Victims They Are.

The Society Which Projects And Undertakes The Technological Transformation Of Nature Alters The Base Of Domination By Gradually Replacing Personal Dependence (of The Slave On The Master, The Serf On The Lord Of The Manor, The Lord On The Donor Of The Fief, Etc.)

Dialectical Logic Undoes The Abstractions Of Formal Logic And Of Transcendental Philosophy, But It Also Denies The Concreteness Of Immediate Experience. To The Extent To Which This Experience Comes To Rest With The Things As They Appear And Happen To Be, It Is A Limited And Even False Experience. It Attains Its Truth If It Has Freed Itself From The Deceptive Objectivity Which Conceals The Factors Behind The Facts - That Is, If It Understands Its World As A Historical Universe, In Which The Established Facts Are The Work Of The Historical Practice Of Man.
