  • An Imaginary Conversation with Muhammad Ali

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...
    Disclaimer 1 (November 2015): I have never met Muhammad Ali and he probably does not know who I am. The contents of this book are, as the title says, purely imaginary - which is not to say fictitious, for Ali and I are real people, and there is no "story" here, only social, political, literary, and cultural criticism and commentary, presented as if it were a conversation between us two. The ... Read more

  • A Socialist Manifesto

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...
    "Luft's conception of socialism is far distant from the socialism of the gulag and the secret police; it is a socialism that free people of good will could actually live with and flourish under, and it would certainly be a kinder, more just, and more inspiring social order than we have presently. This original and thoughtful, albeit problematic, contribution to the discussion of socialism is well ... Read more

  • Hegel's Shorter Logic: An Introduction and Commentary

    by John Grier Hibben, Eric v.d. Luft ...
    Since its publication in 1902, John Grier Hibben's classic work on Hegel's Encyclopedia Logic has been one of the clearest, most illuminating, most helpful, and most popular expositions of this rich and difficult text. Nevertheless, its language has needed to be modernized, its interpretations have needed to be revised and updated in view of recent Hegel scholarship, and its findings have needed ... Read more

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...

Somehow these ... Read more

  • The Metaphysics of God: An Exercise in Practical Ontology

    Dynamic Humanism, #2

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...
    Series Book 2 - Dynamic Humanism
    This book has two purposes: one philosophical, the other polemical. The philosophical purpose will reveal itself plainly in due course, but the polemical purpose is sometimes implicit - between the lines, as it were. The target of the polemic is religionism. Religionists are those who are so bound up in whatever they believe that they will not change their minds about these beliefs even when ... Read more

  • Form, Content, and Power: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Art

    Dynamic Humanism, #5

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...
    Series Book 5 - Dynamic Humanism
    This book is meant to be disconcerting. It asks many more questions than it answers, but perhaps that is how philosophy should be, especially if the questions posed are capable of rousing interest in a topic and stimulating individual thought. It challenges, sometimes attacks, and even ridicules, various traditions and theoretical positions in the history of the philosophy of art, not for merely ... Read more

  • The Value of Suicide

    Dynamic Humanism, #4

    by Eric v.d. Luft ...
    Series Book 4 - Dynamic Humanism
    This book is not about the medical, psychological, psychiatric, sociological, statistical, or even theological aspects of suicide. It does not investigate the pathology of why some people kill themselves and it certainly does not attempt either to prevent or to encourage suicide. It is a book on the philosophy of suicide. It examines (1) the ontology of suicide, i.e., what suicide is from the ... Read more
