2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 4. Aims of Reason

12324	Consensus is the enemy of thought [Badiou]
	Full Idea: Consensus is the enemy of thought.
	From: Alain Badiou (Briefings on Existence [1998], 2)
	A reaction: A nice slogan for bringing Enlightenment optimists to a halt. I am struck. Do I allow my own thinking to always be diverted towards something which might result in a consensus? Do I actually (horror!) prefer consensus to truth?
