/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.18516775]

Yeah, /lit/. To combat modernity simply turn to Kantbot’s favorite writers like Dilthey and the Frankfurt school who made Aristotelian assumptions like that our knowledge of the Good remains only a hypothesis and who wanted to make a materialist basis for art where revelation was replaced with taking opium and other drugs to make art. Just trust this guy who used to rave about how mass literacy was a mistake and about how much he loves Stalinism and the most irrational of the german romantics.

Particular race = Implied structural characteristics that produce relatively patterned results

The issue with this is that they are attempting to quantify something qualitative, and you will never do anything but create a mess of things trying to do this as you have a cascade of assumptions required to attach values to such moving targets.

[Anonymous No.18518546]

>>18518529
I would say it's psuedo-racist. Racism is more of a bias, it can be entirely amoral and exist on its own. What critical race theory does is attempt to moralize something that is roughly intangible, it is dozens of layers of assumptions slapped together and then used to justify a moral position. Roughly a religion.

Althusser said something to the effect of ~cloak yourself in the language of the bourgeois~
>What really takes place in ideology seems therefore to take place outside it. That is why whose who are in ideology believe themselves by definition outside ideology: one of the effects of ideology is that practical denegation of the ideological character of ideology by ideology: ideology never says, 'I am ideological.' It is necessary to be outside ideology, i.e. in scientific knowledge to be able to say: I am in ideology (quite an exceptional case) or (the general case): I was in ideology. As is well known, the accusation of being in ideology only applies to others, never to oneself (unless one is really a Spinozist or a Marxist, which, in this matter, is to be exactly the same thing). Which amounts to saying that ideology has no outside (for itself) but at the same time that it is nothing but outside (for science and reality). (On the Reproduction of Capitalism, 1995/2014)
"Spinoza’s 'theory' rejected every illusion about ideology, and especially about the number one ideology of that time, religion, by identifying it as imaginary. But at the same time it refused to treat ideology as a simple error, or as naked ignorance, because it based the system of this imaginary phenomenon on the relation of men to the world 'expressed' by the state of their bodies. This materialism of the imaginary opened the way to a surprising conception of the First Level of Knowledge: not at all, in fact, as a 'piece of knowledge,' but as the material world of men as they live it, that of their concrete and historical existence." (Essays in Self-criticism, 1974/76)
Which is serendipitous >>1851716 - the reference to Edward Said pointed to Bakić-Hayden's Nesting Orientalisms.
