Rethinking Shakespeare's Political Philosophy: From Lear to Leviathan
A reply to the commentaries on ‘Evolution’s republic’
Evolution's republic: Groundwork for a biosocial contract
Are the concepts of the state of nature and the social contract still relevant for contemporary political theory? I argue that these ideas from early modern and Enlightenment political theory can be fruitfully reapplied via the data and methods of evolutionary biology. Alignment of evolutionary theory with social contract theory can answer the charge that Darwinism, however accurate its picture of the natural world or natural history, provides no…
Carl Schmitt and the clash of civilizations: The Missing Context
Scholarship on Carl Schmitt tends either to contextualize obsessively his Weimar-era work to convict or exonerate vis-à-vis fascism, or effectively decontextualize it in the service of buttressing contemporary political theoretical projects. While both approaches have produced interesting work, this paper argues that both have missed key elements. An important and hitherto largely unexamined context for Schmitt's enduring series of interwar writi…
Stockholm Syndrome: Radical Islam and the European Response
This paper argues that too restrictive an understanding has governed both academic and popular analysis of the social, cultural, and political conflicts between the Western European majorities and their Islamic minorities. These conflicts are typically viewed through the prisms of majority racism and/or minority economic disadvantage. While such social facts are undoubtedly important, I argue that the ideology of radical Islamism must be taken se…
The Twilight of Probability: Locke, Bayle, and the Toleration of Atheism
PurgePolitik: The political functions of decadence in fascism
Testing Ideology Against Neorealism in Hitler's Drive to the East
The aggressively ideological character of the Nazi regime provides an interesting test case for the various theories of international relations that claim a state's behavior toward its neighbors is far more influenced by structural, system-level factors than by the specific character of the state in question. In this article I question the view of prominent realists such as Dale Copeland and John Mearsheimer that Nazi Germany did not behave irrat…
