Michael Eldred, one of the founding figures of value-form theory, has joined our list. He is currently in Cologne, Germany. His email address is artefact@t-online.de (Michael Eldred) Michael introduces himself as follows: ================================ > About myself: > I earn my money with translations from German into English mainly in > the area of art and business. I studied mathematics and then > philosophy at Sydney University. My philosophy teachers at Sydney > included David Armstrong, Wal Suchting, Georgy Markus (Ph.D. > supervisor), John > Burnheim. My Ph.D. (Sydney Univ. 1984), which finished on a research > grant at Constance University during collaboration with a Constance > lecturer at the time, Volkbert Mike Roth (and Lucy Kleiber and Marnie > Hanlon), deals mainly with Marx (Das Kapital) and also with Hegel > (Rechtsphilosophie), specifically the problem of reassessing the value > theory and, on its basis, thinking through the social forms of > bourgeois-capitalist society. > > Today I'm still interested in the question and the problem of social > being, but the scope has widened to draw intensively on the thinking > of especially Heidegger, Aristotle and Plato as well as the classical > literature on political philosophy and political economy. The > phenomenon of value I now see in a different light which seems only to > baffle my erstwhile Marxist friends. > > Some of my work over the last decade is available at > http://www.webcom.com/artefact/ It concerns mainly aspects of social > being (including whoness as opposed to whatness, and how world is > shared), but also the status of music and language. > > Michael > _-_-_-_-_-_-_- artefact text and translation _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ > _-_--_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- made by art _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ > http://www.webcom.com/artefact/ _-_-_- artefact@webcom.com > _-_-_-_-_-_-_ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Dr Michael Eldred -_-_- =========================== Michael: Welcome aboard!
