And so too can a critical thought never, even with a delay, accompanied by
action be founded in fear. Doesn't thought estranged from action become
sterile and self-referential?
"Repressive intolerance" - isn't that just a bit overdone? I mean who is
being repressed here?
It's ironic that John Ransom should cite so much Adorno, since Adorno
devoted a good bit of his intellectual life to understanding Naziism, a
phenomenon by which most Foucaultians seem to be speechless.
