Marx Meets The Pauline School

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

~ Ephesians 6:12

Transgressive Transcendentalism accepts the found world as a complex web of social relations through which various forms of power (some more benign than others) are exercised.

Its dialectic consists in appropriation-of and resistance-to the existing configurations of power--including Narrative Power (the power to control "the Narrative"). The goal of practicing this dialectic is the subversion of Locative relations of Power (the Imperium) for the sake of Utopian relations (liberty, fraternity, equality).

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.

~ Karl Marx, Theses On Feuerbach, XI.
