Justice as Language in a Fascist Age
Keywords:
Fascism; Justice; Language and DiscourseAbstract
We live in dark times, a time when light dominates as authority in the name of thought and perception. Light can become a paradigm of totalising subjugation. Light has become knowledge and perception. It is the human urge to dominate and subdue, which is fascism. It is a
threat to our everyday life. It is a crisis of culture. It comes to life as banality of thoughtlessness. The restraint of the ego is ethics and spirituality. Every time there is a holocaust, it is the cry of man for his place under the sun. The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a
light in the darkness of pure being. Solitary cry in the wilderness is empty, but only when it has become the object of discourse. It is in the course of speaking that we learn to be human.
