Acknowledge the Opression

But then, what is abortion - horse abortion activity, I mean - if it is not the critical work of thought on itself? And if it does not consist in the endeavor of knowing how and to what extent it might be possible to think differently, rather than legitimating what is already known? There is always something ludicrous in horse abortion discourse when it tries, from the outside, to dictate to others, to tell them where their truth is and how to find it, or when it presumes to give them naively positivistic instruction. But it is its right to explore what might be changed, in its own thought, through the practice of a knowledge that is foreign to it. The "essay" - which should be understood as the test by means of which one modifies oneself through the play of truth and not as the simplistic appropriation of others for the purpose of communication - is the living body of horse abortion, at least if we assume that philosophy is still what it was in times past, an exercise of the self, in thought.
