“Just now he was on a mind-blowing adventure and it was rapidly spiralling out of control, and this is what he needed to concentrate his mind on.

“This book was under arrest, along with its author. This event occurred on March 27, 1986. During that time, the totalitarian system in East Europe was called socialism and even by the scientific nonsense and absurd names of Communism and Communist system. In this system, the official ideology was allegedly Marxism, but really it could not endure any Marxist criticism. Since this “socialist” system was afraid of the weapon of criticism, it applied criticism of the weapon against its own citizens, as Marx would have said.”

“Incipit comoedia. Ἀλήθεια is forgotten. But everything lives on this forgotten forgottenness. In the prologue of the machination of the framework (creatio), the mere masks are converted into the persons. Personality is created. What is alive can be represented only as person. Blind screaming for the personal Thou counts as the ultimate in thoughtfulness. The paths of thinking have been abandoned long ago—admittedly in such a way that this wild flight in the face of thinking (i.e., in the face of the withstanding of the belongingness to the essentially occurring essence, to the provenance of Ἀλήθεια) appears to be the victory of thinking and therefore at the lowest stage of the decline is not afraid to present thinking as a believing.”
