The way to over­come an idea is to exemplify it,..an example never simply exemplifies a notion; it..tells..what is wrong with this notion… Stating it as a certain life practice…produces something more which undermines it,…minimally undermines what it is an example of.

What happens to democracy when the majority is inclined to vote for racist and sexist laws? I am not afraid to conclude: Emancipatory politics should not be bound a priori by formal-democratic procedures of legitimization.

All our attempts to generate new meanings are ..a longing to regain the lost ..Thing.
