The Great Forgetting
Why did the modern world enter into a “great forgetting” about the more-than-human world so many indigenous peoples took for granted? Second, how can this previous knowledge be reacquired without rejecting the very real accomplishments of the modern mentality? Many deep ecological writers have done extraordinary work on this second question. I will focus on the first, and use its analysis to add some insights regarding the second. Central to the …
Love, Suffering and Evil
No one born in the 20th century can have missed the challenge to spiritual worldviews raised by the carnage of its wars and massacres, as well as the suffering caused by disease, natural disasters and general hard knocks of everyday life. So much pain! So much unhappiness! Neopagan religion celebrates and honors all basic dimensions of existence, but in light of so much suffering, some critics ask whether in doing so we demonstrate a naive or eve…

Insidious threat, emergent response
How the Cows Turned Mad describes the centuries-long search for the cause of obscure and always fatal diseases that first apparently afflicted sheep and later were found to attack people as well. This search led to the discovery of prions, the paradoxical proteins that scientists now believe are the cause of mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (CJD), kuru, and scrapie. Along the way, researchers earned two Nobel Prizes. Author Maxime Schwa…
Toward a Hayekian Theory of Commodification and Systemic Contradiction
F. A. Hayek's theory of spontaneous order applies to more than the market. One implication is that different systems of rules generating different spontaneous orders are biased in favor of different values. Markets serve the values of consumers; democracies serve the values of citizens. No spontaneous order perfectly reflects human values because they simplify the context of choice in favor of core systemic values. This insight enables us to dist…
Scale and magnanimity in Civic Liberalism
Thomas Spragens attempts to rebuild liberal theory by arguing that realist, libertarian, egalitarian, and identity liberals all have valid insights, but develop them one‐sidedly. Re‐examining the work of sixteenth‐ and seventeenth‐century liberals leads, he contends, to a more balanced liberalism. Spragens's often‐impressive effort to reconstruct liberalism is undermined by insufficient appreciation of the role of the scale of the polity and by c…
Liberalism, Democracy, and the State
Liberal political thought has fractured into “classical” and “modern” camps. This division is rooted in differing reactions to the rise of capitalism and democracy, which are institutional outgrowths of liberal principles, unanticipated by its seminal thinkers. Both “classical” and “modern” liberalism are led astray by classifying liberal democracy as a kind of state. But democracies are not states; they are selforganizing systems. When the natur…
Market non‐neutrality
The market is sometimes thought to be a largely neutral means for coordinating cooperation among strangers under complex conditions because it is, as Hayek noted, a “spontaneous order.” But in fact the market actively shapes the kinds of values it rewards, as do other spontaneous orders. Recognizing these biases allows us to see how such orders impinge on one another and on other communities basic to human life, sometimes negatively. In this way …
Deep Ecology and Liberalism
Liberalism and Deep Ecology are usually regarded as mutually exclusive. However, the “evolutionary” tradition of liberal thought, rooted in David Hume and Adam Smith, and including Michael Polanyi and F. A. Hayek, provides a foundation for their reconciliation. Linkage is through Hume and Smith's conception of sympathy, which today means empathy. For Hume, sympathy extends into the animal realm. Sympathy is essential for certain scientific work, …

Reply to Piccone and Ulmen
One of the risks of slicing the conceptual world differently than is the current fashion is the likelihood of being firmly stuffed into old categories no matter how hard one tries to stay out of them. I believe this is the case in much of Paul Piccone's and Gary Ulmen's critique of my article, “Federalism, Self-Organization, and the Dissolution of the State.” Added to this difficulty is the fact that my arguments generally arise out of the libera…
Democracies and Peace
Democracies do not fight one another. This is because they are self-organizing systems and therefore fundamentally distinct from other states. As systems, liberal democracies have more in common with science and the market than they do with undemocratic states. By contrast, undemocratic states are best conceived as instrumental organizations pursuing relatively well defined goals. Liberal democracies do not normally pursue particular goals, are r…
Federalism, Self-Organization and the Dissolution of the State
The unitary nation-state is showing increasing signs of declining importance, and the most desirable alternative is not likely to be world government but rather an increasing devolution of power within increasingly federalized states. Federalism today seems almost quaint — a charming and sometimes irritating holdover from the political past, when Americans saw themselves more as residents of particular states than of the US as a whole. Its reputa…
Elites and Democratic Theory
The role of elites within liberal democracy is a perennial issue. One reason why is an inappropriate theoretical conception of democracy. They are self-organizing systems rather than instrumental organizations. As such they have more in common systemically with science and the market than with democratic organizations or undemocratic states. Examining the role of elites within science and the market sheds light on how they work within democracies…
Democracy as a spontaneous order
Liberal democracy, science, and the market constitute Western modernity's finest flowers. Each has transformed the world, and together they created a decisive break with all preceding societies. Today even cultures with no understanding of the principles underlying these institutions rhetorically appropriate their names. Governments almost everywhere claim to be democratic, or at best provide long-winded excuses as to why they are not (yet). Coun…
