The Truth Of Literature And Art Has Always Been Granted (if It Was Granted At All) As One Of A "higher" Order, Which Should Not And Indeed Did Not Disturb The Order Of Business. What Has Changed In The Contemporary Period Is The Difference Between The Two Orders And Their Truths.

Where These Reduced (operational - E.w.) Concepts Govern The Analysis Of The Human Reality, Individual Or Social, Mental Or Material, They Arrive At A False Concreteness - A Concreteness Isolated From The Conditions Which Constitute Its Reality. In This Context, The Operational Treatment Of The Concept Assumes A Political Function. The Individual And His Behavior Are Analyzed In A Therapeutic Sense - Adjustment To His Society. Thought And Expression, Theory And Practice Are To Be Brought In Line With The Facts Of His Existence Without Leaving Room For The Conceptual Critique Of These Facts.
