Pseudo-World

“Fragmented views of reality regroup themselves into a new unity as a separate pseudo-world that can only be looked at. The specialization of images of the world has culminated in a world of autonomized images where even the deceivers are deceived. The spectacle is a concrete inversion of life, an autonomous movement of the nonliving”

Sacred Illusions

“But for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, appearance to essence, . . . truth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred. Sacredness is in fact held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be seen as the highest degree of sacredness.” —Feuerbach, Preface to the Second Edition of The Essence of Christianity”

It’s all about the Crack

I thought of you when I read this quote from “Less Than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism” by Slavoj Zizek –

“(what appears to us as our inability to know the thing indicates a crack in the thing itself , so that our very failure to reach the full truth is the indicator of truth).”
