“In the potential of absurdity, hiding in the disparate combination of the various different subjects which in themselves are nothing but daily items equally in the exclusive representation of a normal item taken out of their usual context, is by far the most radical - in its effect comparable to a Japanese Zen koan - paradox to be witnessed, which modern art has produced, one of the most forceful impulses that generated from it.” ArtDifferentTakenModernSubjectsEffectsNormalVariousRadicalCombinationImpulseParadoxHidingUsualRepresentationAbsurdityItemsExclusiveModern ArtDifferent Subjects Author:Antoni Tapies

“Women must see that there can be no liberation for them and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model of relationships continues to be one of domination.

It was and remains part of the modern age and progressive thought.” PeopleIdeasAgeAbleEnjoyReligiousClassModernMiddleHealthyCapableRemainsWingsNotionConservativeCornersRadicalMiddle ClassProgressiveEnjoy LifeRight WingLeftistsEuthanasiaModern AgeNon ReligiousHealthy Society Author:Gotz Aly
“I think he [King Edward] was a modernizer who was a new thinker. The things he intended to do - unify the country, expand it all from coast to coast - were very modern and radical in those days. Also, the fact that he married who he did and that he managed to deal with the consequences and ramifications of that marriage and stay on the throne until the day he died, that shows skill.” ThinkingCountryFactsShowsDealsModernKingsSkillsMarriedConsequenceDiedRadicalThinkerThronesCoastRamifications Author:Max Irons
“Because the soul has such deep roots in personal and social life and its values run so contrary to modern concerns, caring for the soul may well turn out to be a radical act, a challenge to accepted norms.” WellsMaySoulRunningValuesTurnsSocialChallengesModernConcernRootsCaringContraryAcceptedRadicalNormSocial LifeDeep Roots Author:Thomas More
