"When philosophy paints its grey in grey then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk." -- G.W.F. Hegel, 'Preface', Philosophy of Right.

'Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainity and agitation distinquish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones ... All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned.' Marx

A quote:

"The thesis, inspired by Jurgen Habermas, that the 'state' has increasingly colonised 'the lifeworld' is misleading, not least because the very nature and meaning of state and lifeworld were transformed in the process. State institutions certainly extend the scope of their operations and the depth of their penetration in the lives of their citizen subjects. But they do so by a complex set of strategies, utilizing and encouraging the new positive knowledges of economy, sociality and moral order, and harnesing already existing micro-fields of power in order to link their governmental objectives with activiities and events far distant in space and time."

It is from Nicolas Rose, Powers of Freedom: Reframing Political Thought, (p.18)
