Understanding
is a conceptual, political, and ethical practice. It is conceptual because without concepts one
would not know
what to think about or where to look in the world. It is political because reflection is made
possible by the social conditions that
enable this practice… It is ethical because the question of why and how
to think are questions of what is good in life.
Finally,
all action is stylized; hence it is aesthetic, insofar as it is shaped and
presented to others.
