"Progressive" is not fighting injustice. It is not working out policies that will benefit education, the environment, health organizations, or society in general. "Progressive" is not a concern for mutual cultural understanding, for world peace. It is not a fight for freedom. (The great majority of this website's activity is not "progressive".) "Progressive" is not envisioning a better future.
In Ecce Homo, Nietzsche's last piece of written work which surveys the books that became representative of his philosophies, he credited The Birth of Tragedy, his first book-length essay, as having accomplished the following:
The subtle tie between experience and language cannot be denied. The larger a vocabulary one has in a given subject, the more in-depth and intricate one can experience that subject. Vice-versa, the more experience one has with a certain subject the more language he will have to communicate it. Consider, for example, a food critic.
