Some interesting how-I-became-an-anarchist stories are going up over at Charles’s blog. Read some, add some.
"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.
Looking that over, it occurs me that one thing we might put together would be a sort of video montage of people discussing this about themselves — perhaps using just brief sound bites from each, in order to show as many people as possible and convey a sense of many people.
That sounds like an excellent C4SS project — preferably a variety of ages, races, genders, cultural styes, etc. Maybe we can get some folks with video cameras to tape the interviews at a number of different anarchist events?
For me, the ‘light went on’ in the middle of listening to your presentation “An Anarchist Legal Order” [ http://media.mises.org/mp3/Long/Long-10.mp3 ]
The Lockean critique of Locke was the straw that broke the minarchist-Camel’s back.
I am in your debt.
