Eidodynamic

Alan Bula, Donald Rooum, John Rowan, Bob Black: Letters

September 1, 2012

TERMINOLOGICAL EXACTITUDE Sir, Having read Beyond Politics I agree with Zvi Lamm and Freedom that it is lucid, an invisible quality complemented by its almost stark black, white and yellow physical presence. All this, combined with the unfashionably theoretical nature of the subject, made the book a delight to read. Yet, as I neared the… read more »

George Walford: Editorial (59)

September 1, 2012

Although our critics may find it hard to believe, we read them with enjoyment and take account of what they say. Some of the compliments on the cover of this issue cancel out. Can a theory be both mystical and mechanical? Can mere drivel undermine libertarian impulses? The others show a tendency to dismiss us… read more »

George Walford: Ideology in the Reviews (58)

September 1, 2012

Authoritarian religion and the state appeared together as paired expressions of domination, and the novelty of the original Christian movement was soon brought into line.

September 2, 2012

The suspicion that average temperatures over the planet may be rising, or set to rise in future, with disastrous consequences to follow, has become an ideological battleground. On the one hand the eidodynamics, emphasising the danger and calling for restraints to avoid or at least minimise it. On the other, the eidostatics, professing the best… read more »

George Walford: The Green & The Blue

September 2, 2012

The greenists try to establish their principles in place of the ones now dominating society, but if the preservation of the environment depends on their success we face a grim prospect. The green parties, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the others have lost much of the impetus that once made them seem set for… read more »

George Walford: Editorial (58)

April 16, 2013

MEET S.I., on the inside front cover, undergoes constant revision; it now incorporates two changes made at the suggestion of Trevor Blake, a new reader. From the account of the revolution ideology the clause: ‘Attempts to impose Marxist communism but fails for lack of support’ has been deleted, not for any unsoundness but because it… read more »

Lev Chernyi: Review of Beyond Politics and Angles on Anarchism

September 3, 2012

From Anarchy, a Journal of Desire Armed, No. 31. The concept of ideology has fairly recent origins. The word was coined by the French writer A. L. C. Destutt de Tracy in 1796 to name his ‘science of ideas.’ Since that time use of the term has been divided between two general senses, one positive… read more »
