RE: [OPE] Absolutely Divine Everyday, Why social justice is a specious idea V.3.0

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.

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.

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".

Friends of philosophy,

Here is one new article:

1.) Absolutely Divine Everyday: Tracing Heidegger's thinking on
godliness -
With an appendix on Aristotle's purely energetic god of the fair

Paper presented to the conference Heidegger und Religion in Messkirch,
04-07 June 2008. The appendix endeavours to rethink Aristotle's famous
god in his Metaphysics.

http://home.tiscali.de/artefact/untpltcl/absdvnev.html
or
http://192.220.96.165/untpltcl/absdvnev.html

and one revised article (Version 3.0)

2.) Why social justice is a specious idea

The seductive, comforting idea of social justice leads inevitably to an
all-caring, social-totalitarian state that ruins its citizens
(inter-)play.
