49The Politics of Salvation (review)Idealistic Studies 16 (3): 279-280. 1986.This is not an ordinary study of Hegel’s thought; it is rather an unusual effort to apply that thought to contemporary issues, in particular to that complex problem known as liberation theology. Lakeland’s approach can be loosely characterized as both right wing Hegelian, in that stress is placed on Christian elements, and as progressive Catholic as concerns the interest in liberation theology. The thesis he advances is that Hegel’s political theology is appropriate to illuminate the connection …Read more

100On recovering Marx after MarxismPhilosophy and Social Criticism 26 (4): 95-106. 2000.If Marx is to survive as a source of unparalleled insight into the modern world, he needs to be recovered. This article will begin to address some of the difficulties which arise in recovering Marx, above all the need to free Marx from Marxism. Marx has always been studied through Marxism, hence in a way which profoundly distorts his philosophical ideas. If we remove this Marxist 'filter', we see a rather different, more philosophical, and more philosophically-interesting thinker, Hegel's most i…Read more

26Interprétations Hégéliennes de MarxSymposium 19 (2): 212-232. 2015.Marx est un grand penseur et, selon divers critères, un des plus importants des temps modernes. L’enjeu ici est de cerner ce que Marx peut nous apporter aujourd’hui sur le plan philosophique. Le déclin soudain du marxisme officiel présente une occasion de faire ressortir le côté philosophique de Marx. Or voici quatre conditions afin de cerner la philosophie marxienne. Ces conditions relèvent du marxisme, de Hegel, de l’économie politique, et du modèle marxien de la société industrialisée moderne

20Epistemology As HermeneuticsThe Monist 73 (2): 115-133. 1990.Recent discussion has seen an increase in the interest in hermeneutics. The increased interest in hermeneutics goes back at least until the appearance of Being and Time in 1927, more than sixty years ago. Thisbookis characterized by the unresolved tension between two clearly incompatible theses: the Husserlian form of absolute truth, and a post-Husserlian view of truth arising from the hermeneutical circle. More recently, the interest in hermeneutics has been strengthened by the appearance of Tr…Read more

98Hegel and Epistemological ConstructivismIdealistic Studies 36 (3): 183-190. 2006.This is a paper about Hegelian constructivism in relation to theory of knowledge. Constructivism, which is known at least since Greek antiquity, is understood in different ways. In philosophy, epistemological constructivism is often rejected, and only occasionally studied. Kantian constructivism is examined from time to time under the heading of the Copernican revolution. Hegelian constructivism, which is best understood as a reaction to and revision of Kantian epistemology, seems never to have …Read more
