On the Dialectics of Time

Abstract

The very position of the problem we are discussing here suggests that the whole direction of social development, our methods and conceptual approaches to the problematic of social development in the world, are basically at fault. At the very least a growing number of thinkers, and particularly in the Orient, have called them into question.

Thought will only begin when we have learned that what has been so magnified over the centuries — Reason — is the bitterest enemy of thought.
