Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that we need “...to see science under the lens of the artist, but art under the lens of life.”

Nietzsche - on the Greeks

“The Greeks as interpreters: When we speak of the Greeks we involuntary speak of today and yesterday; their universally known history is a polished mirror which always reflects something that is not in the mirror itself. We take advantage of the freedom to speak about them in order to be silent about other things - so that these Greeks might themselves whisper something in the ear of the thoughtful reader. Thus for modern man the Greeks facilitate the communication of many things which are difficult or hazardous to communicate.”

Jacques Derrida

“…no degree of progress allows one to ignore that never before, in absolute figures, have so many men, women and children been subjugated, starved or exterminated on the Earth.”

Jacques Derrida

Lyotard. The Post Modern Condition

“…A work can only become modern if it is first post-modern. Post-modernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent [starting] state, and this is constant.” 

Lyotard. The Post Modern Condition (1979)
