Purpose of Criticism of Civilization
The cornerstone of civilization has been demolished by rational critique and no wonder, it needed to be criticized but it needed to be more deeply understood and criticism and deep understanding are the same thing, unless the criticism is only destruction. If you criticize something what you’re doing is separating the wheat from the chaff, you’re not burning all of it … What should we conserve and what should we dispense with? We conserve what’s centrally true and now we need to understand it.
