Well rr, please forgive me if I have a little fun at the expense of Libertarians here: It's about time these folks -- the designated heirs of the glories of Western intellectual and cultural civilizational achievement -- paid their dues to their great benefactors. All the best premises are "classical" -- if only in the sense that no one in human history has come up with better premises or questions. Perennial questions; eternal questions. The kinds of questions that human being are primed to ask, from one age to another, and down through all the ages.
Forget Modernism: It was stillborn from the get-go. It has always had the nasty habit of avoiding the realities of how human beings actually live. So-called "Modernism" has always been interested in supplying some iron-clad, abstract blueprint to guide us all -- but into what???
Modernism (i.e., the mariage du covenance of materialism, skepticism, and "popular darwinism") has always said that the historical human past is no guide to the proper analysis of pressing, contemprary problems; not only that, but particular human experience and insight are irrelevant when it comes to questions of public order. And as far as Aristotelian modes of intellectual inquiry and analysis are concerned -- well, they are entirely irrelevant.
No matter. STET: Let it stand.
Good night my friend. best, bb.
