- Stop inventing new concepts – decenter creative knowledge production as the goal of concrete theory development in favour of a critical reorganisation of actually existing categories
- Problems need to be thought in negative and even contradictory terms in order to be effective for scientific concept formation in transdisciplinary theory development
- The concrete is neither to be found in the singular, immediate ”lived experience” nor by reference to empirical reality – it is a question of historically engaged logical form
- Based on the model of Beauvoir’s Hegelian analysis of The Little Mermaid, feminist theory ought to pursue a project of emancipation rather than equality in order to accomplish itself as critique
- The methodological is political: I advocate a dialectical and reproductive rather than affirmative and innovational conceptual politics
