The Precarious Ontological Link Between Logos And Eros Is Broken, And Scientific Rationality Emerges As Essentially Neutral.

Technological Rationality Reveals Its Political Character As It Becomes The Great Vehicle Of Better Domination, Creating A Truely Totalitarian Universe In Which Society And Nature, Mind And Body Are Kept In A State Of Permanent Mobilization For The Defense Of This Universe.

Many, And I Think The Determining, Constitutive Facts Remain Outside The Reach Of The Operational Concept. And By Virtue Of This Limitation This Methodological Injunction Against Transitive Concepts Which Might Show The Facts In Their True Light And Call Them By Their True Name The Descriptive Analysis Of The Facts Blocks The Apprehension Of Facts And Becomes An Element Of The Ideology That Sustains The Facts.
