Flusser: "The further discursive reason develops, the more it becomes critical of itself.  Until it self-destructs.  This suicide of reason, whose ultimate victims are the ones of my generation, results in the emergence of a new post-rational and antirational irrationalism, which is supported by discursive reason.  Thus, a new imagination emerges, supported by the concepts of reason in order to negate them.  Photography is the first product of this new type of irrationalism."  (Into Immaterial Culture 21)
