The only philosophy which can be possibly practiced in face of despair is the attempt to contemplate all things as they would present themselves from the standpoint of redemption.Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption:all else is reconstruction, mere technique.Perspectives must be fashioned that displace and estrange the world, reveal it to be, with its rifts and crevices, as indigent and distorted as it will appear one day in the messianic light. T.Adorno, Minima Moralia
