One of the goals of philosophy is wage theoretical battle. That is why we can say that every thesis is always, by its very nature, an antithesis. A thesis is only ever put forward in opposition to another thesis, or in defence of a new one.

To philosophize with open eyes is to philosophize in the dark. Only the blind can look straight at the sun.

Ideology represents the imaginary relationship of individuals to their real conditions of existence.

If someone asks, ‘But what in the end is a philosopher?’ I would say ‘A philosopher is a human being who fights in theory.’

The ultimate condition of production is therefore the reproduction of the conditions of production

Philosophy is, in the last instance, class struggle in the field of theory.

Occasionally, the whole class struggle may be summed up in the struggle for one word against another word. Certain words struggle amongst themselves as enemies. Other words are the site of an ambiguity: the stake in a decisive but undecided battle
