FORCE AND ASCESIS

The Force that produced rational secularism, Cartesian subjectivity, science and so on is the same Force that allows for artistic avant gardes and new political subjectivities to break ground.  Force is always inspired, but always subtractive, always hysterical.  Force will always seem illegal, impossible, immoral, uncultivated - but only at first.  The product of force is always incorporated eventually.  That is party of what distinguishes Force from Ascesis.  Whereas Ascesis turns around a paradox that is never resolved and is not new, Force turns around new paradoxes that are temporary.
