Famous quotes containing the words western and/or order:

“One good reason for the popularity of “reductionism” among the philosophical outposts of the Western Establishment is that it can be, and is, used as a device for trying to take the wind, so to speak, out of the sails of Marxism.... In essence reductionism is a kind of anti-Marxist caricature of Marxist determinism. It is what anti-Marxists pretend that Marxist determinism is.”
—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

“Today Americans are overcome not by the sense of endless possibility but by the banality of the social order they have erected against it.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
