Two more Cato Unbound posts from me, one a reply to Mike’s latest on whether it’s conceptually incoherent to be indifferent to one’s own interests, and one a belated response to Doug’s earlier question about religion.
"Austro" as in Rothbard and Wittgenstein, "Athenian" as in Aristotle and smashing-the-plutocracy.
About Roderick T. Long
The Empirical Me
I’m Roderick T. Long, Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University. I’m an Aristotelean/Wittgensteinian in philosophy and a left-libertarian market anarchist in social theory. (More about me here.) This blog, Austro-Athenian Empire, is a continuation of my earlier blog, archived here.
I don’t see how your approach doesn’t lift the concept as high as imaginable. Regardless of one’s particular religion.
Whenever I have theological discussions with my Christian friends, I ask them “what is God’s logic?” And that serves as a koan. But they tend to reject the question. If the word ‘Jesus’ isn’t included in the question, then it’s automatically blaspheme. I’m so glad our country has insitutionalized polylogism.
