“Pragmatism , in trying to turn experimental physics into a prototype of all science and to model all spheres of intellectual life after the techniques of the laboratory, is the counterpart of modern industrialism, for which the factory is the prototype of human existence, and which models all branches of culture after production on the conveyor belt.” TryingHumansTurnsCultureExistenceModernIntellectualModelsProductionsTechniquePhysicsBranchesSpheresFactoriesBeltsLaboratoryHuman ExistencePragmatismCounterpartsPrototypeIntellectual Life Book:EPZ Eclipse of Reason Source: EPZ Eclipse of Reason

“Man today is fascinated by the possibility of buying, more, better, and especially, new things. He is consumption hungry... To buy the latest gadget, the latest model of anything that is on the market, is the dream of everybody, in comparison to which the real pleasure in use is quite secondary.
