Philosophy Now Forum

I have a BA in Philosophy from Columbia University, a PhD from Columbia University in Classics, an MFA from University of Montana, and a JD from Washington and Lee University. I have a decent historical perspective, an analytical and logical mind, and communicate well. My interests include will, metaphysics, and ethics. I continually read and study. I am retired, mostly as a result of damage to my spine from blood cancer. My new passion is Beyong Churl Han. Like him, I am a buddhist, neo-marxist, Foucauldian. Big fan of the Frankfurt School and post-structuralism, especially Derrida.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

First again, bahman.

Look out for Immanuel Can, he's also very keen on Marxism.

It's his favourite subject after God.

Strange. The last time I discussed political philosophy with him, he did not even believe in Social Democracy!

Cool. But people think that Social Democracy is the proper practice before Marxism.

I may have misled you. It is true that he is passionate about Marxism, but not in a positive way.

I think he sees it as his duty to save the world from Marxism.

Ohhh. But he believes in God's Sovereignty! Doesn't he also believe that we are children of God and look the same in God's eyes!?

All I can tell you is that God's political views seem to be remarkably similar to IC's.
