As the philosopher Alain Bardiou reminds us, "...the contemporary world is doubly hostile to truth procedures. This hostility betrays itself through nominal occlusions: where the name of a Truth procedure should obtain, another, which represses it, holds sway. The name 'culture' comes to obliterate that of 'art'. The word 'technology' obliterates the word 'science'. The word 'management' obliterates the word 'politics'. The word 'sexuality' obliterates 'love'. The 'culture-technology-management-sexuality' system, which has the immense merit of being homogenous to the market, and all of whose terms designate a category of commercial presentation, constitutes the modern nominal occlusion of the 'art-science-politics-love' system, which identifies truth procedures typologically" (Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism).
