Thinking about the social and political role of utopianism for my dissertation: Hayek rightly points to the limits of rational thought, urging us to beware of the ‘conceit of reason’. But he evades the paradox that, precisely because our reason is limited, we cannot know where its limits may lie. Therefore it is both unnecessary and impossible to ‘limit reason’, whereas to limit coercion is essential and possible. —Qin Hui, Dividing the Big Family Assets, in New Left Review, no.20 (Mar/Apr 2003), p.110.
