  • Democratic Theory Naturalized

    Walter HornBOOKDemocratic Theory Naturalized2020

    To some, the word populism suggests the tyranny of the mob; to others, it suggests a xenophobic nativism. It is often even considered conducive to (if not simply identical to) fascism. In Democratic Theory Naturalized: The Foundations of Distilled Populism, Walter Horn uses his theory of "CHOICE Voluntarism” to offer solutions to some of the most perplexing problems in democratic theory and distill populism to its core premise: giving people the …

  • Reid and Hall on Perceptual Relativity and Error

    Open AccessWalter HornARTICLEJournal of Scottish Philosophy2010Referencias: 3

    Epistemological realists have long struggled to explain perceptual error without introducing a tertium quid between perceivers and physical objects. Two leading realist philosophers, Thomas Reid and Everett Hall, agreed in denying that mental entities are the immediate objects of perceptions of the external world, but each relied upon strange metaphysical entities of his own in the construction of a realist philosophy of perception. Reid added ‘v…

  • A New Proof for the Physical World

    Walter HornARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1984

    I wish to offer what I consider to be a novel proof for the existence of the physical world. This proof is somewhat odd and perhaps a bit old-fashioned, but I think it nevertheless has interest.

    Whether or not we have any natural right to landownership, like life and liberty, the institution of private property is agood. The utility produced by private property in land is overshadowed by the evils produced by the speculative withholding of supramarginal land unless compensatory payments are required of landowners. Such payments should be made to those living in the same "rental area" and should be of an amount that will eliminate all inc…

  • Water power and the plan of St Gall

    Walter HornARTICLEJournal of Medieval History1975Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

    An analysis of the scale used by the designer of the Plan of St Gall allows for no other conclusion than that the mill and mortars shown on this Plan were water driven. Because of the paradigmatic nature of the Plan this means that hydraulically operated mills and mortars were by the makers of the Plan considered to be standard equipment of a Carolingian monastery — a conclusion supported by a wealth of other documentary source material available…
