Dialectics of Classicism: The birth of Nazism from the spirit of Classicism
This article is an attempt to revise and extend two prior conceptions: Adorno and Horkheimer's dialectic of Enlightenment and Murphy and Robert's dialectic of Romanticism. It traces a developmental trajectory within German Kultur, starting around the mid-18th century, that goes through three moments or phases: the Grecophilia of Goethe and Schiller, the Grecomania of Hölderlin, Schelling and early Hegel, and the Grecogermania of Wagner, Nietzsche…
The civilizing process - According to Mennell, Elias and Freud: A critique
This article critiques theories of the civilizing process as expounded by its leading expositors: Mennell, Elias and Freud. It begins with a criticism of Stephen Mennell's book The American Civilizing Process. This book relies on an even more famous work, Norbert Elias's The Civilizing Process. Unfortunately, Mennell's otherwise commendable attempt to capture American civilization in its historical scope and sociological complexity is misdirected…

Science and politics: A Critique of Scientistic Conceptions of Knowledge and Society
The theory of a post-industrial knowledgeable society was accompanied by ambitious claims regarding the power and capacity of science in social planning and policy-making. These exaggerated claims are based on a number of cardinal errors concerning the relation between social scientific knowledge and social practice. These errors are exposed and refuted by reference to theories of the role of science in relation to politics to be found in the wor…
Beyond Marx—Weber: A Diversified and International Approach to the State
Marx initiated the definition of the development of the modern state as a process of expropriation of powers. Weber took over this idea and added to it two more definitions of the state: as the holder of a monopoly of the means of violence and as an authority based on rational-legal legitimation. These three definitions of the state held up well until after the second world war, but since then new developments require that they be modified. Total…

In the Beginning was the Deed: Reflections on the Passage of Faust
Now that the collective death of mankind has become a possibility, no other thought can remain unimpaired. Harry Redner traces historically the onset of this acute state of Nihilism from what might be called the Faustian revolution, symbolized by Faust's pronouncement “In the beginning was the Deed.” Redner reflects on the passage of the three main Fausts, from Marlowe’s to Goethe’s to Thomas Mann’s, and this reflection serves as the dramatic met…
