Philosophy/Criticism

Any institution that centers itself by reproduction is immediately suspect. Criticism, if directed at the unpolished edges of an organization, edges which either sabotage or yet defeat the institution's ability to reproduce itself, can certainly be found in abundance. But critique, authentic and reflexive, that which calls into question not merely the goals of government or like edifices but indeed their very existence, is something surpassingly rare in our day. Even so, its improbability does not necessitate our own retreat into the impossible. The human imagination is more resilient than any political force. That it is more than impolite to pursue this other course gives a validity to the 'impolitical'; at once uncouth and impolitic as it must be. (From the book's Introduction.)
