A few random posts…

  • “Implication Vector” in historical narrative
    Historical reasoning needs to deal with the direction of the "implication vector" - does a fact about America in 1776 tell us more about 1776 or about America?
  • Recapitulation (Anti-postmodernism)
    A few modest suggestions for inoculation of USA version 2 from the dangers of postmodernism discussed in the previous post.
  • Critical Theory
    Some history of the neo-Marxist Critical Theory, and its postmodern and applied postmodern successors, together with some further resources.
  • Resources for nonracism
