			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>n 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&#8217;s interesting to see them in internet garb.</p>
<h2>Norman Geras:</h2>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0860910660?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adancistar-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0860910660">Marx &amp; Human Nature</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adancistar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0860910660" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, 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.</p>
<p>Geras&#8217;s blog, which happily flies in all sorts of tangents, is located at <a href="http://normblog.typepad.com/">www.normblog.typepad.com</a></p>
<h2>Christopher John Arthur:</h2>
<p>Christopher J. Arthur (of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9004136436?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adancistar-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=9004136436">The New Dialectic and Marx&#8217;s Capital</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adancistar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=9004136436" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> fame) maintains <a href="http://chrisarthur.net/">www.chrisarthur.net</a> which collects a reasonable selection of his writings on Marx and Dialectic.</p>
<h2>Michael N. Forster:</h2>
<p>Back into the more distant past again, in the beginning of a Warwick year, I devoured Forster&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0674387074?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adancistar-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0674387074">Hegel and Skepticism</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adancistar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0674387074" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> 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&#8217;s faculty <a href="http://philosophy.uchicago.edu/faculty/forster.html">site </a>carries a selection of his published articles.</p>
<h2>Brian Leiter:</h2>
<p>Leiter is another of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0198752709?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adancistar-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0198752709">Nietzsche </a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adancistar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0198752709" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> commentators with a rabid blogging appetite. He maintains <em>several </em>sites &#8211; personal, <a href="http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/">philosophical</a>, legal etc., In answer to the question <a href="http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2008/09/why-is-this-pre.html">Why is this Presindential election even close?</a>, his cut-to-the-chase-reply carries some merit:</p>
<blockquote><p>Racism and the apparently bottomless stupidity of a certain portion of the electorate would seem simpler explanations.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Robert M. Wallace:</h2>
<p>Last, but by no means least, we have Robert M. Wallace&#8217;s newly created <a href="http://www.robertmwallace.com/Site/Welcome.html">&#8220;Philosophical Mysticism&#8221; site </a>(<a href="http://www.robertmwallace.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html">blog</a>, <a href="http://www.robertmwallace.com/Site/Writings_files/cv10_%282008%29.doc">curriculum vitae</a> included). I&#8217;m not sure where he intends to go with his thoughts but if his <a href="http://www.robertmwallace.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2008/10/21_Simon_Critchley_on_Obama_and_the_Impossibility_of_Ideals.html">remarks </a>on Simon Critchley are anything to gauge, it&#8217;s a peculiar place indeed.</p>
