Matthew B. Crawford Quotes
Whether You Regard It As Infantile Or As The Highest Achievement Of The European Mind, What We Find In Kant Are The Philosophical Roots Of Our Modern Identification Of Freedom With Choice, Where Choice Is Understood As A Pure Flashing Forth Of The Unconditioned Will. This Is Important For Understanding Our Culture Because Thus Understood, Choice Serves As The Central Totem Of Consumer Capitalism, And Those Who Present Choices To Us Appear As Handmaidens To Our Own Freedom.
When The Choosing Will Is Hermetically Sealed Off From The Fuzzy, Hard-to-master Contingencies Of The Empirical World, It Becomes More "free" In A Sense: Free For The Kind Of Neurotic Dissociation From Reality That Opens The Door Wide For Others To Leap In On Our Behalf, And Present Options That Are Available To Us Without The World-disclosing Effort Of Skillful Engagement.
