Immanent Politics, Participatory Democracy, and the Pursuit of Eudaimonia

This is the paper I presented at ASC, chapter 5 of my dissertation.
After much too much procrastination the rough draft is finally
finished and it's uploaded to my website. I'm sure it's in need of

welcome.

My Library(Thing)

I estimate I've got about 1/3 of my library cataloged now. The rest
is still boxed up due to lack of shelf space.

Check it out:

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/veritasnoctis

What remains uncataloged: lots of fiction, RPGs, history, political

LibraryThing is cool. :o)

"They wouldn't make something legal if it were so unsafe." As if everything is naturally illegal by default, and it is the job of wise state'smen to choose what to make legal (allow us to do).
