5. Exchange, Value, Justice

6. The Principle of Reason and Justice — Leaping from the ground
through Leibniz, Hegel,
Nietzsche and Heidegger to Anaximander and the groundlessness of
interplay.
http://www.webcom.com/artefact/untpltcl/…
7. Questioning the Earth’s Value –Including a proposal for a capitalist
carbon sink industry.
The crux of this proposal depends on seeing clearly that the concept of
ground-rent is the appropriate one for grasping the value of the Earth
under that constellation of being called capitalism.

8. Why social justice is a specious idea
Because it obfuscates the charitable nature of social welfare, the idea
of social justice leads inevitably to an all-caring, social-totalitarian
state that dangerously interferes with the free metabolism of civil
society and undermines the independence and self-reliance of civil
society’s members.

9. Social Being, Whoness, Freedom - A Sketch
Paper as presented to the 24th North Texas Heidegger Symposium

Texas. The thoughts here are distilled from my Social
Ontology.

10. Assessing How Heidegger Thinks Power Through the History of Being
The trace of how Heidegger thinks power through the history of being can
be followed back to the concept of energeia in Aristotle’s Metaphysics.
According to Heidegger, this concept is the start of the trajectory of
the being of beings cast as Wirklichkeit, actuality. Energeia is paired
metaphysically with dynamis, i.e. power, potential, capability. One such
power is the art of rhetoric, famously also investigated by Aristotle.
But what is the power of such a know-how when faced with the otherness
of the other?…

11. Cologne Theses 03 June 2004

16. Metaphysics of Feminism: A Critical Note on Judith Butler’s Gender
Trouble
Today’s feminist discourse claims to be situated beyond the strictures

“matrices of cultural intelligibility that govern gendered life” does
not go deep enough in questioning gender.

Ontology)
A study (in both German and English) of the digital casting of beings in

In parallel to the way language makes way to language, music makes way
to music. Initially, this formula does not make much sense…
