Erik Hoogcarspel replies to Peter Gates:
<<BTW, in your first posting you seem to suggest that British philosophy or
any other has something important to say about those issues you mention,
maybe you can enlighten me here, because I've really no idea which
philosopher you might think of. On the contrary: while Anthony Giddens is
still thinking that most poor people have a choice, it's Pierre Bourdieu
who's raising important ehtical issues and social criticism. And this is
not new: when British philosophers were just working on linguistic
problems, people like Sartre and Camus brought up the important ethical
issues.>>
The Spoon Collective hosts the Bhaskar list--an e-list for discussion of
British philosopher Roy Bhaskar and Critical Realism. Do followers of
Foucault ever check it out? Any cross-over?
