  • Дмитрий Безугловhas quoted6 years ago
    Land’s withering assaults on the academic left—or the embourgeoisified state-subsidised grumbling that so often calls itself academic Marxism—remain trenchant.
  • Karen Sarkisovhas quoted5 years ago
    God possesses intuitive knowledge of each and every particular thing because his thought about that thing creates it. His is an infinite generative intelligence whose making is unconstrained by any given. Thus God’s knowledge of the world is absolute, immediate, and incorrigible.
  • Karen Sarkisovhas quoted5 years ago
    Prometheanism is simply the claim that there is no reason to assume a predetermined limit to what we can achieve or to the ways in which we can transform ourselves and our world.
  • Karen Sarkisovhas quoted5 years ago
    In other words, it is the understanding, the faculty that dismembers, objectifies and discriminates, which first exercises the power of the negative that will be subsequently consummated by reason.

    This scaling down of political ambition by those who espouse the ideals of justice and emancipation is perhaps the most notable consequence of the collapse of communism as a Promethean project.

    Hands up, furthermore, those who really believe that these desires for a restored organic wholeness are extrinsic to late capitalist culture, rather than fully incorporated components of the capitalist libidinal infrastructure.
  • Дмитрий Безугловhas quoted6 years ago
    And of course we suffer, we the capitalized, but this does not mean that we do not enjoy, nor that what you think you can offer us as a remedy— for what?—does not disgust us, even more. We abhor therapeutics and its vaseline, we prefer to burst under the quantitative excesses that you judge the most stupid. And don’t wait for our spontaneity to rise up in revolt either.

    Pass the Merlot, I’ve got a career’s worth of quibbling critique to get through.
