-Philip Rieff, Fellow Teachers, 1973We are subjected to endless breakthroughs, by hosts of mini-charismatics, intruding on our private selves, demanding that we abolish them. Against these breakthroughs, and their celebrants, revolutionary and regressive, we might try to imagine a science and art of limits; our primal feeling, if only we could reconstruct it, must be for what we have long known is not to be done.
