Erik Hoogcarspel replies to Peter Gates: <<BTW, in your first posting you seem to suggest that British philosophy or any other has something important to say about those issues you mention, maybe you can enlighten me here, because I've really no idea which philosopher you might think of. On the contrary: while Anthony Giddens is still thinking that most poor people have a choice, it's Pierre Bourdieu who's raising important ehtical issues and social criticism. And this is not new: when British philosophers were just working on linguistic problems, people like Sartre and Camus brought up the important ethical issues.>> The Spoon Collective hosts the Bhaskar list--an e-list for discussion of British philosopher Roy Bhaskar and Critical Realism. Do followers of Foucault ever check it out? Any cross-over? Yoshie Furuhashi
