DISPATCHES FROM
THE EMERGENCY ROOM
I spent my early childhood in a trailer park in Texas so, until I became an emergency physician in Oakland, I thought I knew something about barriers to healthcare access, and maybe even something about poverty. The Emergency Department at the Oakland county hospital has around 75,000 visits a...

Something you Never even Thought of [NDP]
The philosopher-citizen
Charles Taylor
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most prominent philosophers on the global scene of the last half century. His work is of an impressive range and depth. It would be impossible to sum it up in a short essay, but I shall try to single out three facets of his extraordinary achievement which help throw light on his deserved fame and influence.
Jürgen Habermas is...

Philosophy and Real Politics Raymond Geuss
Introduction
A strong “Kantian” strand is visible in much contemporary political theory, and even perhaps in some real political practice. This strand expresses itself in the highly moralised tone in which some public diplomacy is conducted, at any rate in the English-speaking world, and also in the popularity among political philosophers of the...

On Commonwealth
Antonio Negri
Before Commonwealth , we published Empire and Multitude .
Whilst Empire was a book that could be immediately understood from the point of view of the spatiality of power, Multitude presented some problems. In particular, the question of how the multitude could organise itself.
So the first issue we confront in Commonwealth is the becoming Prince , in...

The American Pastime: Modernism (A Meadian Theory of Jazz)
“If you have to ask what jazz is, you ain’t never gonna know” — Louis Armstrong
At this particular time, I would like to do something other than “celebrate American tradition” by speaking of jazz music. All throughout American history, various people have dreamt of “making it new”: a new life in the New World, clean and scientific and...

“But mostly U.S.A. is the speech of the people”
John Dos Passos was the author of what, if “conventional wisdom” was to be a guide, would be the Great American Novel: the U.S.A. trilogy, a “tripartite” for The American Republic. An ambulance driver during WWI (for those so militaristic to be pacifistic to be privileged to be “rounders”), Dos Passos...

The flipside of “Love for Son and Daughter” — all the fun true “New Dealers” get up to with our funny country and the English Language Awesome — is that there is a time to quit ‘American Empirical’, New York non New York non-New Yorker *in a* G-man fashion, and stop being polite or getting real.

A “word to the wise” as regards the untranscendability of the American New Deal: the bureaucratic technics employed by FDR and Company are often imitated, never duplicated — and that’s just fine with Us, it is. Wilson’s clever subreption of “Prussian” (PRI) bureaucratic centralismo having become awesome, our boys in Foggy Bottom needed to clean up good and...

The Philosophy of Laboring (Punks and Platonism)
Posted by jeffrubard on August 2, 2009
Six years ago, I wrote a “squib” called “The Philosopher of Labor: Or, Why We Can’t Quite Do Without Proudhon”. Though the title is a reference to a very sly joke by Marcuse about “dialectics”, a “private” joke of Marx’s, and the politics of capitalization in the United States the sentiment was genuine...
