I might mention that this year I published "How Philosophers Change Civilizations: The Age of Enlightenment" with Romantic Revolution Books. The birth of the ideas of the modern world--and commentary on the postmodernist onslaught on those ideas: reason, science, individualism...

Well, thanks for acknowledging. Otherwise, I am afraid I don't follow this at all.

The past two weeks my "feeds" have been laden with historical contexts regarding Marx and Hegel.
For the third time in as many days I offer: Hegel lives in the minds that will never know him. I don't think this will be lost upon you.
The dialectic causes me to reflect on Claude Shannon and Rene Descartes. I am inundated with messages. By what standard do I evaluate the messages as noise or information (Shannon). Dan Appleton poses a juxtaposition to Descartes; Cogito ergo sum, as, Quod cogito ergo sum "IT thinks therefore I am. The dialectic, un-evaluated, taken or not, based upon trust or bias, in print or other media is the historic factioning control method of the ages.

Babel .... 2024, 2025 based upon xxxxBC. Narcissistic rhetoric at its finest. Appleton may be correct. We may be facing a near extinction event.
