Daily quote by Division of labor

• The error in positivism is that it takes as its standard of truth the contingently given division of labor, that between the science and social praxis as well as that within science itself, and allows no theory that could reveal the division of labor to be itself derivative and mediated and thus strip it of its false authority.
  • Theodor Adorno, “Why still philosophy?” Critical Models (1998), p. 10.
