Overcoming Impossible Contradiction

More From Czeslaw Milosz

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

I'm not going to try and change how people perceive me. i think it's important to be a contradiction. people are contradictions; everyone has contradictions. so i don't expect anyone to look at me differently.

There is no contradiction between technology and spirit. there is no contradiction between the search for intellectual integration and understanding and the psychedelic experience. there is no contradiction between ultra-advanced hyperspacial cyber culture and paleolithic archaic culture. we have come to the end of our sojourn in matter. we have come to the end of our separateness.
Technology Understanding Intellectual
Nothing is demonstrable, unless the contrary implies a contradiction. nothing, that is distinctly conceivable, implies a contradiction. whatever we conceive as existent, we can also conceive as non-existent. there is no being, therefore, whose non-existence implies a contradiction. consequently there is no being, whose existence is demonstrable.

Most of us do not understand nuclear fission, but we accept it. i don't understand television, but i accept it. i don't understand radio, but every week my voice goes out around the world, and i accept it. why is it so easy to accept all these man-made miracles and so difficult to accept the miracles of the bible?

The philosophy of praxis does not aim at the peaceful resolution of existing contradictions in history and society, but is the very theory of these contradictions. it is not the instrument of government of the dominant groups in order to gain the consent and exercise hegemony over the subaltern classes. it is the expression of subaltern classes who want to educate themselves in the art of government and who have an interest in knowing all truths, even the unpleasant ones, and in avoiding the impossible deceptions of the upper class, and even more their own.
