Thought That Accepts Reality As Given Is

There Is No Free Society Without Silence, Without The Internal And External Spaces Of Solitude In Which The Individual Freedom Can Develop.

The Range Of Choice Open To The Individual Is Not The Decisive Factor In Determining The Degree Of Human Freedom, But What Can Be Chosen And What Is Chosen By The Individual.

The Ontological Concept Of Truth Is In The Centre Of A Logic Which May Serve As A Model Of Pre- Technological Rationality. It Is The Rationality Of A Two-dimensional Universe Of Discourse Which, Contrasts With The Of Thought And Behavior That Develop In The Execution Of The Technological Project.

Inasmuch As Art Preserves, With The Promise Of Happiness, The Memory Of The Goal That Failed, It Can Enter, As A 'regulative Idea,' The Desperate Struggle For Changing The World. Against All Fetishism Of The Productive Forces, Against The Continued Enslavement Of Individuals By The Objective Conditions (which Remain Those Of Domination), Art Represents The Ultimate Goal Of All Revolutions: The Freedom And Happiness Of The Individual.

Art Cannot Change The World, But It Can Contribute To Changing The Consciousness And Drives Of The Men And Women Who Could Change The World.
