      "Thus, the far, New New Left has turned logocentrism on its head, jettisoning one sense of it for another, truer sense of the word. The new form seeks knowledge not *through* language, but *in* language." Language is not a tool, for them. It is the construction material

      "Instead of seeking knowledge in the belief that thought and word are roughly, reliably coordinate to the world they reference, true logocentrism finds free-floating meaning almost religiously in the word itself. "

      This profound epistemological shift has impact "What has all this meant in political practice? In political practice, true logocentrism produces a turn to subjectivity: subjective experience is raised in value over the objective description that is no longer warranted as valid."

      Social justice becomes personal justice. "A phenomenon of these contentions is that a whole range of proscribed and advised behaviors (including speech) are so constituted in order to engender the conditions of what I will label personal justice."

      This is another reversal. Traditionally, in liberalism, it has been understood that improving social justice - equal rights, opportunities, freedoms - will result in personal wellbeing which Adler calls 'harmony.' Fix things from the outside and people get happier inside.

      Also more harmony in society. Adler: Greater social justice, then, preceded more complete harmony, both public and private, neither of which — King and all who followed and worked with him were at pains, literally, to demonstrate — could prevail in the absence of justice.

      "Social justice speech codes originating in what has come to be called identity politics seek to reverse this relationship between justice and harmony." Take people's subjective experiences and use them to change society. Society becomes more just when feelings protected

      "In this rearrangement of the relationship...the experience of injustice is neither institutionally supported or behaviorally imposed; rather it is in the individual’s inner sense of feeling “unsafe,” of being “triggered” in disturbing memory or troubling emotion" Spot on, no?

      "Inner disharmony now prevails, and subjective disharmony by such cause is averred to be personal injustice."

      "The offended party claims a right to have this harmony restored, & the basis for its restoration is to be sought in some external correction of the corresponding disharmony between the individual’s interior experience and the exterior conditions that disrupted that experience."

      "In this retributive or restorative correction pursued as some kind of sanction against the offender, or amendment to the rules of social exchange, including reeducation via workplace and campus workshops lies the justice, a new form of social justice: personal identity justice"
