Never heard of him. Is he a golfer or a bagpipe player? [/poor attempt at humor]
As I asked on another thread, when are these marchers scheduled to march in Nablus?
Ahem--Shekhem is an ancient Jewish city currently occupied by Arab squatters. Let 'em try it in Mecca!
Shoot, let 'em try it in Cairo for that matter! For some reason the Arabs aren't expected to be the up-to-date enlightened hepcats the rest of us are supposed to be.
The philosopher Alisdair McIntyre was formerly a leftist, possibly a Communist, who converted to Catholicism while on the faculty at Notre Dame. I wouldn’t let that stop you from looking at his books, especially “After Virtue” and “Whose Justice? Which Rationality”?
This is a fine philosophical discussion, in the Aristotelian tradition, of the incompatibility between modernists & postmodernists and the traditional ideas of virtue and rationality. Most modern and postmodern philosophy isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, but McIntyre is one of the few exceptions.
