Join 📚Jof’S Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
two questions orient the arc of this book. First, how should we diagnose and conceptualize the temporal domination of racial injustice? Second, if we have internalized this form of life then with what resources can we develop principles for a transformed and free form of life that we have never experienced? These two questions bind together “critical theory” and “utopia” to develop both a novel account of injustice and the principles of a not yet experienced freedom.
Race, Time, and Utopia
William M. Paris
We are generally afraid to tackle the world without reference points and are seized with vertigo whenever masks and epithets come down. If I am no longer a musician, a writer, sophisticated, handsome, or strong, what am I? And yet __flouting all labels is the best guarantee of freedom and the most flexible, lighthearted, and joyful way of moving through the world.__
Happiness
Matthieu Ricard
Actual free labor is not a matter of being free from constraints, but of being able to identify with the constraints to which you subject yourself.
