The discrete freedom sequence
Monday, November 10th, 2008Freedom Evolves? The Discrete Freedom Sequence
Our eonic periodization is about to uncover one of the most remarkable mysteries of human history, and evolution, a windfall that leads us to the core of the Kantian philosophy of history. It is the only clue we have to the otherwise invisible action of the eonic sequence. On [...]
Kant, the idea of freedom, and Darwinism
Friday, October 31st, 2008Darwinism=Social Darwinism, liberal confusion over Darwinism discusses the idea of freedom in relation to modern scientism, and the relationship of the philosophy of history to theories of evolution.
Review of Kant’s Politics
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Freedom’s Causality, a review of Kant’s Politics at Amazon.com
Here is a quote on this from the book:
What would “bridging nature and freedom” mean outside of politics? For Kant the big questions are nearly always epistemological: thus, bridging freedom and nature might mean specifying the conditions under which investigators of the empirical world (scientists) are [...]
Science of history, science of freedom?
Saturday, October 4th, 2008Selection from World History And The Eonic Effect
In a nutshell, there is, as yet, no methodologically sound basis for a theory of evolution. That’s a surprising statement, but the point will become obvious as we look at the gray area between history and evolution. We should recall the reservations of Kant, as to the hope [...]

Freedom’s Causality, Teleology And Politics
The inherent power of our eonic model exposes at once a curious contradiction in the teleological thinking of Kant. Kant is confusing here because he produces a splendid critical methodology for the mediation of teleological issues, but ends stuck with the [...]
Critique Of Historical Reason

Critique Of Historical Reason
It is remarkable that just at the modern divide appears German classical philosophy. Its philosophies of freedom are themselves a part of the discrete freedom sequence! Furthermore we see that the eonic effect contains an expression of Kant’s Third Antinomy in its [...]
Kant’s Challenge: The Challenge Resolved And A Kant Fix
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Another selection from the third edition of World History And The Eonic Effect
The Challenge Resolved And A Kant Fix
Within two centuries the necessary data is emerging for the first time to resolve Kant’s Challenge in unexpected fashion. But we must fix the confusion over asocial sociability that flows into the vacuum of archaeological data, data [...]
Kant and historical materialism?
Monday, August 25th, 2008Kant’s essay is the object of a strain of interpretation according to historical materialism in certain quarters. Not so fast, we should say, with the intent to take a look at the idea of ‘asocial sociability’.
A short and very accessible text, it avoids the technical language of Kant’s larger works, but was written right between [...]
