Michel Foucault: The anger of the facts
"What has happened in our heads, in the last fifteen years, would say in a first attempt I: a raging pain, an impatient, applied sensitivity for what is going on, an intolerance to the theoretical Justification and the whole slow calming work that the "true" discourse does every day. Against the background of the pallid decor that had established the philosophy, economics and so many other beautiful Poltische sciences, have suddenly brought confusion and sick, women and children, prisoners, tortured and killed by the millions. God knows that we Theorems, principles, and words were prepared for all of the crumble. Which meal at once, to see this so close to strangers and listen? What concerns the more indelicate things? We have been gripped by anger at the facts. We have ceased to tolerate those who told us - or rather, the whispering in us, that said, 'Never mind, a fact is in itself never be anything, hear, read, wait, this will also, later, higher explain '. "
