“Institutionalized desublimation thus appears to be an aspect of the "conquest of transcendence" achieved by the one-dimensional society. Just as this society tends to reduce, and even absorb opposition (the qualitative difference!) in the realm of politics and higher culture, so it does in the instinctual sphere. The result is the atrophy of the mental organs for grasping the contradictions and the alternatives and, in the one remaining dimension of technological rationality, the Happy Consciousness comes to prevail.” DoeCultureDifferencesResultsConsciousnessHigherAspectAlternativesRealmsDimensionsOppositionContradictionSpheresOrgansTechnologicalRationalityConquestTranscendenceGraspingThis SocietyAtrophyQualitative Book:One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society Source: One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society
“It is an assumption that there is always one single dimension for assessing persons and their actions that has canonical priority. This is the dimension of moral evaluation; "good/evil" is supposed always to trump any other form of evaluation, but that is an assumption, probably the result of the long history of the Christianisation and then gradual de-Christianisation of Europe, which one need not make. Evaluation need not mean moral evaluation, but might include assessments of efficiency, ... simplicity, perspicuousness, aesthetic appeal, and so on.” NeedsMeanPersonsLongMightActionFormEvilResultsMoralTrumpEuropeSimplicityPrioritiesAppealsAssumptionDimensionsAestheticEfficiencyAssessmentEvaluationGood EvilAssessing Author:Raymond Geuss
