Objectivity has been deserted, left high and exposed, by subjectivity [03.22.98]

‘A fault has occurred in our reason. One half of our modern rationality has dropped sheerly away, leaving the cliff face of scientific and political objectivity towering uselessly over the void.
The strata of reason, thus violently sundered, continue at a lower level, but they are unrecognizable from above. Objectivity has been deserted, left high and exposed, by subjectivity.
This drop away from rational conformity has been given visually in a number of striking and original ways, some of which are now so familiar to us as to have been accepted as features of our world without having been examined for their meaning. We have grown familiar with the sign without ever taking seriously its signification. ....
The body is the outward and visible form of subjective intention and meaning. It is the encoded form of a message constantly emitted over the last decade: the message that there has been a mutation in our sense of what is right and wrong. What was acceptable once is so no longer. Everything has to be thought out again.‘
