Terry Eagleton Quotes

Another Anti-theoretical Stratagem Is To Claim That In Order To Launch Some Fundamental Critique Of Our Culture, We Would Need To Be Standing At Some Archimedean Point Beyond It. What This Fails To See Is That Reflecting Critically On Our Situation Is Part Of Our Situation. It Is A Feature Of The Peculiar Way We Belong To The World. It Is Not Some Impossible Light-in-the-refrigerator Attempt To Scrutinize Ourselves When We Are Not There. Curving Back On Ourselves Is As Natural To Us As It Is To Cosmic Space Or A Wave Of The Sea. It Does Not Entail Jumping Out Of Our Own Skin. Without Such Self-monitoring We Would Not Have Survived As A Species.
