Cologne 19-Jun-2008 Your left, right, neo- schematism has a frighteningly thick intellectual rigour about it. Presumably from a palaeo-left position. Such a political positioning does produce a certain order for the mind, but is philosophically worthless. ----------------------------------------- Internet lists like this are self selecting on the basis of common interests. Your papers are sufficiently far from the common interest base of the group, that I would be very surprised if you were to convince anyone. You describe me as 'paleo-left', well I am in my fifties and a socialist which may be what you mean, but the difference between left and right wing outlooks in political economy is well established and continues to down to this day, even if you personally are unaware of where you currently stand on that spectrum. ----------------------------------------- _-_-_-_-_-_-_- artefact text and translation _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- made by art _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ http://www.webcom.com/artefact/ _-_-_-_- artefact@t-online.de _-_ _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Dr Michael Eldred (c)_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Paul Cockshott schrieb Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:48:07 +0100: -----Original Message----- From: ope-bounces@lists.csuchico.edu [mailto:ope-bounces@lists.csuchico.edu] On Behalf Of Paul Cockshott Sent: 18 June 2008 19:48 To: artefact@web.de; Outline on Political Economy mailing list Subject: RE: [OPE] Absolutely Divine Everyday,Why social justice is a specious idea V.3.0 Why? 1. Because OPE-L is not a place where you are likely to get a sympathetic hearing for neo-liberal views that are well to the right of Christian Democracy. 2. There are alternative neo-liberal and neo-Austrian forums which might be more suitable, but even in such a forum, the pretentious and wordy form taken by your very thin arguments is likely to restrict interest in your two papers . There are much more intellectually rigorous and lively accounts available for the basic points you are putting forward. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Eldred [mailto:artefact@t-online.de] Sent: 18 June 2008 16:57 To: Outline on Political Economy mailing list Cc: Paul Cockshott Subject: Re: [OPE] Absolutely Divine Everyday,Why social justice is a specious idea V.3.0 Cologne 18-Jun-2008 Why? For the precious few whose minds are not made up. All your terms are more than questionable. Materialism, too, is an idea. Even the issues of political economy are not settled, above all, the question concerning value, which underpins Ver. 3.0 of "Why social justice is a specious idea". _-_-_-_-_-_-_- artefact text and translation _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- made by art _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ http://www.webcom.com/artefact/ _-_-_-_- artefact@t-online.de _-_ _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Dr Michael Eldred (c)_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Paul Cockshott schrieb Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:50:18 +0100: > Why bother circulating this dreadful and socially reactionary idealist > dross on a progressive political economy list? > > Paul Cockshott > Dept of Computing Science > University of Glasgow > +44 141 330 1629 > www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/ Paul Cockshott Dept of Computing Science University of Glasgow +44 141 330 1629 www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/ -----Original Message----- From: ope-bounces@lists.csuchico.edu on behalf of Michael Eldred Sent: Tue 6/17/2008 3:23 PM To: Heidegger, An-archos; SPHS; artefact philosophy; OPE, List Subject: [OPE] Absolutely Divine Everyday,Why social justice is a specious idea V.3.0 Cologne 17-Jun-2008 Friends of philosophy, Here is one new article: 1.)
