Steve Fuller

Nikolai Trubetzkoy (1890-1938) In Search of a Moral Compass for the Ukraine War I have long professional ties with Russia. Indeed, the first ‘Chair in Social Epistemology’ was held not by me but by Ilya Kasavin, a philosopher affiliated with the Russian Academy of Sciences. He founded the journal Epistemologja i Filosofija Nauki (‘Epistemology and the Philosophy […]

Peter McLaren

I used to be an evangelical Christian for several years, so I have a sense of what it was like to join a Church and to leave one. As I write in my book, He Walks Among Us: Christian Fascism Ushering in the End of Times: When I was seventeen, I was an evangelical Christian. […]

The Russians are Coming

But Aren’t They Already Here?

Peter McLaren

Who are the Russian oligarchs or wannabe oligarchs? Slavoj Zizek’s description is particularly apt: The so-called oligarchs in Russia and other ex-communist countries are a bourgeois counterpart to what Marx called the lumpen-proletariat: an unthinking cohort susceptible to political manipulation because its members have no class consciousness or revolutionary potential of their own. Unlike the proletariat, […]

The New Cold War Blocs

Peter McLaren

Claiming to represent the apogee of Western democracy, the United States has undertaken grievous crimes against humanity throughout the course of its history, and I don’t need to itemise all of the egregious episodes pertaining to imperial interference in the elected governments of countries and the waging of wars considered to be threats to world […]

The Risks of Omnicide Escalate as War Intensifies in Ukraine

Peter McLaren

Many observers of the war in Ukraine sincerely believe that they have a clear and convincing answer to why the war is being fought, what accounts for its dominant ontology of violence, and who is benefiting from the ensuing conflagration that entails grave socio-political, ethical, and environmental consequences devasting for the entire world.
