CHAPTER

Negative Thinking and Societal Change

This chapter explores the use of negative thinking as a tool for societal change, drawing on concepts from Adorno, Marxist perspectives, and critical consciousness. It challenges the belief that enunciation cannot exist without denunciation and critiques the idea of an authentic utopian vision. The speaker also discusses the connection between being woke and critical constructivist epistemology, as well as the concept of ruthless criticism and its relationship to power and control.
