Thought That Accepts Reality As Given Is

Society ... Can Afford To Grant More Than Before Because Its Interests Have Become The Innermost Drives Of Its Citizens.

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.

The Tangible Source Of Exploitation Disappears Behind The Façade Of Objective Rationality.

Such Abstraction Which Refuses To Accept The Given Universe Of Facts As The Final Context Of Validation, Such "transcending" Analysis Of The Facts In The Light Of Their Arrested And Denied Possibilities, Pertains To The Very Structure Of Social Theory.

The Web Of Domination Has Become The Web Of Reason Itself, And This Society Is Fatally Entangled In It.
