adorno, critical models: interventions and catchwords, pg. 108 Without a firmly held opinion, without hypostatizing something that is not fully known—that is, without accepting something as the truth while it is impossible to be completely certain that it is the truth—experience, indeed the very preservation of life, is hardly possible. The timid pedestrian who hesitates at the yellow light, judging that if he now crosses the street he will be hit by a car, is not completely sure that this will actually occur. The next automobile could be driven by a humane driver for once, who will not immediately step on the gas.4 But the moment the pedestrian were to rely on that and cross the street on the light he would, simply because he is no prophet, most probably be killed. In order to behave as the common sense of self-preservation dictates, the pedestrian must, as it were, exaggerate. All thinking is exaggeration, in so far as every thought that is one at all goes beyond its confirmation by the given facts. Yet this difference between thought and its factual confirmation harbors the potential for delusion as well as for truth. Delusion can then really appeal to the fact that, in general, no thought can ever be given the guaranty that the expectation it contains will not be disappointed. There are no discretely conclusive, absolutely reliable, independent criteria; the decision is taken only through a structure of complex mediations.

footnote 2 is my favorite dreary.dev/blog/reply-t...
adorno, critical models: interventions and catchwords, pg. 305-306 NINTH QUESTION: It was said that even exaggeration is a means for teaching and education. Could you explain this a bit more? PROF. ADORNO: I would like to try to forestall a misunderstanding. I would not be able to accept the responsibility for recommending exaggeration in education. On the contrary, where consciousness is so sensitive, as in these places, if someone says, say, that six million Jews were killed and not five million, then the five million wouldn’t be believed either. With this I only wanted to say, in consideration of the by no means optimistic overall picture that I gave, that I perhaps exaggerated and this exaggeration seems to me to be a necessary medium for socialtheoretical and philosophical presentation, because the moderate, normal surface existence in general conceals such potentials and because in the face of neutral, average everydayness to indicate the threat lying below it at first blush always has the character of exaggeration. I would urgently warn against exaggeration in pedagogical work, for instance. On the contrary, I would say the less the idea of propaganda here even arises, the more stringently one holds to the facts—which God knows speak for themselves, or against themselves—the better. If you will recall from the war, which I of course did not experience in Germany, the authority the BBC, the English radio, enjoyed precisely because it did not make propaganda but because one knew that it was telling the truth, then I think this expressed something very central to our problem.

Hegel. The Difference Between Fichte’s and Schelling’s System of Philosophy https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/fs/ch01.htm#:~:text=The%20Need%20of%20Philosophy When the might of union vanishes from the life of men and the antitheses lost their living connection and reciprocity and gain independence, the need of philosophy arises. From this point of view the need is contingent. But with respect to the given dichotomy the need is the necessary attempt to suspend the rigidity opposition between subjectivity and objectivity; to comprehend the achieved existence (das Gewordensein) of the intellectual and real world as a becoming. Its being as a product must be comprehended as a producing. In the infinite activity of becoming and producing, Reason has united what was sundered and it has reduced the absolute dichotomy to a relative one, one that is conditioned by the original identity. When, where and in what forms such self-reproductions of Reason occur as philosophy is contingent. This contingency must be comprehended on the basis of the Absolute positing itself as an objective totality.

one of the many reasons i enjoy wittgenstein is that he articulates one elaboration of hegel's dictum: "philosophy arises when life has lost its unity" www.marxists.org/reference/ar...

Pg. 89 There are all sorts of different forms that the structuration of resistance can take: it can take theological forms, it can take ethnic forms, it can take political forms, it can take class-based forms, and so on. In certain contexts it might be effective and useful to appeal to human rights. After all, ‘human rights’ have no more, but also no less cognitive and normative standing than dreams do. As political theorists, however, it behoves us not just to look at the way demands are actually formatted and expressed, and see whether or not they are rhetorically effective, but to look also at the internal structure of the demands, the specific way that demand is expressed, and the theoretical implications of that form of expression. So we may demand education because education is an important way of our satisfying our interests. Or we say we have a need for it. That is a more perspicuous way of saying something important than by speaking of ‘rights’. By calling it a right you don’t add anything to calling it a satisfaction of a basic need or an important demand or a vital human interest. You not only don’t add anything, rather you say the same thing in a format that has a history and carries with it a historical legacy of additional connotations. That legacy is not necessarily unmitigatedly good. If, on the other hand, you talk about education as being an important thing for people, as being a human need, this way of speaking moves you on constructively to an interesting political discussion. If I say it is an important need that I have an education, then you ask me ‘why is it a need?’, then I will talk about my needs, and this will naturally lead to discussion of other aspects of my life. That’s a political way of formulating the demand. If I say ‘it’s a right’ I’m immediately saying it’s a trump, that is something I don’t discuss, it’s something that’s limited, it’s something that’s rigid and determinate, it’s something to stop the political discussion, it’s i…
this is actually just me plagiarizing Geuss in "Human Rights: A Very Bad Idea". we're both are skeptical/cautious with moral frameworks to start with, think rights-talk is often counter-productive, and in particular it is corrosive to how one conceptualizes their own and others' politics

she wasn’t wrong, but she also missed a lot. namely, and at least, the value of the performance of projective and deflective self-criticisms that are incorrect on their face.

nietzsche, beyond good and evil, 207 Whatever "personality" he still possesses seems to him accidental, arbitrary, or still oftener, disturbing; so much has he come to regard himself as the passage and reflection of outside forms and events. He calls up the recollection of "himself" with an effort, and not infrequently wrongly; he readily confounds himself with other persons, he makes mistakes with regard to his own needs, and here only is he unrefined and negligent. Perhaps he is troubled about the health, or the pettiness and contined atmosphere of wite and friend, or the lack of companions and society-in-deed, he sets himself to reflect on his suffering, but in vain! His thoughts already rove away to the more general case, and to-morrow he knows as little as he knew yesterday how to help himself. He does not now take himself seriously and devote time to himself: he is serene, not from lack of trouble, but from lack of capacity for grasp-ing and dealing with his trouble. The habitual complaisance with respect to all objects and experiences, the radiant and impartial hospitality with which he receives everything that comes his way, his habit of inconsiderate good-nature, of dangerous indifference as to Yea and Nay: alas! there are enough of cases in which he has to atone for these virtues of his!-and as man generally, he becomes far too easily the dead head of such virtues. Should one wish love or hatred from him - I mean love and hatred as God, woman, and animal understand them - he will do what he can, and furnish what he can. But one must not be surprised if it should not be much-if he should show himself just at this point to be false, fragile, questionable, and deteriorated. His love is constrained, his hatred is artificial, and rather something forced, a slight ostentation and exaggeration. He is only genuine so far as he can be objective; only in his serene totality is he still "nature" and "natural."
