3 malaises of modernity
instrumental reason
-
-
-
-
-
all sense of community disposed by standardised tests + application of numerical value to actions + outcome
-
-
using statistics to drive what things mean overlooks value of ethics, art, religion - fundamental aspects of our authenticity
-
-
- encourages selfish drive for personal economic success
- modern working methods create culture of narcissism + isolation
- unsure of where they stand in society - no sense of community / relationships with others - necessary for our authenticity
- this drive occurred from the break in 'chain of being'
-
- demonstrates social pressure to conform to instrumentalism
- obliged to act in strategically beneficial way to ourselves
- thus trapped in a system of instrumental reason
-
- our culture becomes selfish + simultaneously more instrumentalist in what we value
- view others more objectively + perceive ourselves more significantly
- founded by relentless calculation + control
-
evaluation points
-
expressed explicitly because of our scientific knowledge + developments that have allowed us to to create the environment where we can indulge entirely in ourselves
-

-
-
this society is a product of our selfishness that creates further selfishness as we indulge + participate in it - vicious cycle
