The ontological totality is the endpoint of the spontaneous expression of reality; reality is the product of the spontaneity of the infinite totality. To the spontaneity of existence corresponds the spontaneity of production. The spontaneous and complete correspondence of the singular existence and the total existence, within the tension of expression as well as within the nexus of production, is the beginning and the end of philosophy.</p><p>Philosophy speaks because being is not mute. Philosophy is silent only where being is mute. [Spinoza's]<i> Ethics</i>, I, D1: "By cause of itself I understand that whose essence involves existence, or that whose nature cannot be conceived except as existing." D3 "By substance I understand what is in itself and is conceived through itself, i.e., that whose concept does not require the concept of another thing, from which it must be formed." .... Being tells of its necessary correspondences.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>(L'anomalia selvaggia, 1981, tr.

The period of liberation begins with the resistance to oppression ...<br /></p><p>"The second period entails the organization of the state and a new mode of production.. Liberation is a time of struggle (because of this, a time of military priority, but of the nonprofessional military)... <br /></p><p>"The third phase is the classic epoch, stabilization, the slow ascent...</p><p>"The fourth phase is at the same time one of splendor and of decadence. It is in this phase that the state and the social formation jell; the productive forces grow; the domination of the oppressed becomes repression. Again military art acquires a primacy, although not as the valor of the civilian but as the discipline of military bureaucracy, of a profession that must be entrenched. It is the epoch of empires, of bread and circus, of the slaughter of liberators because they are subversives. It is the time of the Pentagon, of control of the frontiers, of not allowing the barbarians to cross the Danube... or the Mexicans to cross the Rio Grande." <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(77-8)</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">"In the United States it is possible to work out a philosophy of liberation .... from the ideological manipulation that conceals from the public what "the empire" does to people outside its boundaries to poor peoples that it impoverishes even more... An international division of the philosophical labor, assigning to diverse groups and countries distinct tasks, would permit us to begin a fruitful dialogue where uniformity of themes would not be demanded, nor would certain thematic objects be spurned because they are not relevant to one or another group.." </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(195-6)</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> (Philosophy of Liberation, 1980, tr.

Charles Glass' books are also worthwhile snapshots of times and places. One of my critical obsessions is Said's quarrel with misinterpretation of <i>Orientalism</i> found in almost all his late interviews (starting here at 1:13:33), which I suspect to be an inevitable and intentional distortion by American academia geared towards atomizing movements along the lines of identity politics. </p><p>You can write whatever you want, and others can write whatever they want about what you've written and conjecture why you wrote it that way. It's called literary criticism. <i>Orientalism</i> never contradicted that.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/CxW0uJBWVIY?si=BWwWfWhf5eEukbr8" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CxW0uJBWVIY/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe> Ian Keenanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16596558654735506132noreply@blogger.com0
