First sentence: about the self-alienation of workers in industrial capitalism, and about ideology as the deformation of truth for the sake of economic interest. Ferdinand Toennies taught me how deeply human consciousness and public culture were being transformed by the advance of industrial society, and how we were all becoming individualists and utilitarians, unless we remained personally attached to an older tradition.
