4 Questions On Geography

pg 65, Marxism and philosophy as a university institution

  [...] Marxism, one which consists in saying, 'Marxism, as the science of sciences, can 
  provide the theory of science and draw the boundary between science and ideology'. Not this
  role of refree, judge and universal witness is one which I absolutely refuse to adopt,
  because it seems to me to be tied up with philosophy as a university institution.

pg 66, the question of Truth

  If someone wanted to be a philosopher but didn't ask himself the question, 'What is
  knowledge?', or, 'What is truth?', in what sense could one say he was a philosopher? And
  for all that I may like to say I'm not a philosopher, nonetheless if my concern is with
  truth then I'm still a philosopher. Since Nietzche this question of truth has been
  transformed. It is no longer, 'What is surest path to Truth?', but 'What is the hazardous
  career that Truth has followed?' That was Nietzche's question, Husserl's as well, in 'The
  Crisis of the European Sciences'. Science, the constraint to truth, the obligation of 
  truth and ritualised procedures for its production have traversed absolutely the whole of
  Western society for millenia and are now so universalised as to become the general law for
  all civilisations. What is the hostory of this 'will to truth'? What are its effects? How
  is all this interwoven with relations of power?
