Ideas Firm Ideology

More From Barack Obama

Every work of art (unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with brecht) is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. the absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.
Art Mean Ideas
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
I think ideology is toxic, all ideology. it's not that there are good ones and bad ones. all ideology is toxic, because ideology is a kind of insult to the gift of human free thinking.
Life Thinking Toxic
If by a "liberal," they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes that we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "liberal," then i'm proud to say that i'm a "liberal."
Jobs Believe School
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
Struggle Book Thinking
The first theft marked buck as fit to survive in the hostile northland environment. it marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death. it marked, further, the decay or going to pieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle for existence.

Struggle Taken Steps
There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.
