“…all ideas, in which a whole process is promiscuously comprehended, elude definition; it is only that which has no history, which can be defined.”  — Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals

It has been the collective and cumulative work of thinkers like Michael Taylor, Gustav Landauer, Etienne de la Boetie, Thomas Hobbes, Niccolo Michiavelli, Colin Ward, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Alvin Gouldner, Thomas Kuhn, Clifford Geertz, Hannah Arendt, Vincent & Elinor Ostrom and, finally, the blazingly brilliant Quentin Skinner that has turned me away from a Weberian conception of the state.

“…all ideas, in which a whole process is promiscuously comprehended, elude definition; it is only that which has no history, which can be defined.”
