Revised book list - visions_of_the_present
http://presentvisions.livejournal.com/1047.html
Revised book list - visions of the present. Jun 26th, 2006. Visions of the Present:. The following notes are in no way intended as a comprehensive bibliography. They are sources which I have found useful and which raise some of the issues which will be touched on in particular classes. It is not a précis of my talks, but a fairly free-associative list of themes and problems. I hope to post an outline of each talk a few days before each one but that may be a utopian. On Bellamy and Morris see MORTON.

HUME ‘All events are loose and separate’ David Hume was a - visions of the present. Oct 23rd, 2006. HUME ‘All events are loose and separate’. David Hume was a major figure of the European Enlightenment and one of the outstanding British contributors to this. Evolution by natural selection. The kinetic theory of matter. The class-struggle as a pervasive level of the societal order. I will argue that philosophy of the Hume kind is unable to perform this work, and indeed generates, by a kind of necessity it...

Text for talk on Brave New World - visions_of_the_present

Text for talk on Brave New World - visions of the present. Jun 26th, 2006. Text for talk on Brave New World. Who - without looking it up. Got the allusion in the title? This points to one of the ways in which a proponent of AH’s vision could say that it is now coming true. It’s very easy to see how this vision can be taken as now more prescient than when it was first mooted. Consider:. The vastly greater role of the State in civil society. The increasing prescriptiveness of education. What I want to sugg...

HEGEL’s Owl Of Minerva 24 October - visions of the present. Oct 23rd, 2006. HEGEL’s Owl Of Minerva. For Hegel, philosophy can only arise when the societal order which is its object has taken final shape. Does philosophy have any leverage on the world? Is history at an end? A further word on the subject of issuing instructions. On how the world ought to be: philosophy, at any rate, always comes too late to perform this function. As the thought. G W F Hegel, Elements of the Philosophy of Right. The Owl of ...
