eternal sunshine

In part as a welcome to a newly-found, previously long-lost lost one, I decided to look up some other, old and familiar, faces from the past. It’s interesting to see them in internet garb.

Norman Geras:

I remember a particularly slim volume which managed to elude me for the entire duration of my first term as an undergraduate. I was in desperate need of Marx & Human Nature, in part to complete my essay for the standard, pre-1989 Karl Marx course in the Politics Department and, more practically, to come to grips with the then prevalent simplicities for the justification of capitalism.

Geras’s blog, which happily flies in all sorts of tangents, is located at www.normblog.typepad.com

Christopher John Arthur:

Christopher J. Arthur (of The New Dialectic and Marx’s Capital fame) maintains www.chrisarthur.net which collects a reasonable selection of his writings on Marx and Dialectic.

Michael N. Forster:

Back into the more distant past again, in the beginning of a Warwick year, I devoured Forster’s Hegel and Skepticism in a frenzy. Despite reading Hegel un-Systematically, at least in this book, it remains one of the few secondary works on Hegel that left an imprint. Forster’s faculty site carries a selection of his published articles.

Brian Leiter:

Leiter is another of the Nietzsche commentators with a rabid blogging appetite. He maintains several sites – personal, philosophical, legal etc., In answer to the question Why is this Presindential election even close?, his cut-to-the-chase-reply carries some merit:

Racism and the apparently bottomless stupidity of a certain portion of the electorate would seem simpler explanations.

Robert M. Wallace:

Last, but by no means least, we have Robert M. Wallace’s newly created “Philosophical Mysticism” site (blog, curriculum vitae included). I’m not sure where he intends to go with his thoughts but if his remarks on Simon Critchley are anything to gauge, it’s a peculiar place indeed.
