John, was your inclusion of my name on the post-header an attempt to coopt
me, to show me the virtues of the Liberal promulgation of the
individual(ism)?  Well, it worked.    

To some extent. I think that what I would like to do at some point is study
Christopher Caudwell's thinking on bourgois liberty and compare it to some
of today's radical-marxist positions, e.g., Alan Gilbert's Democratic
Individuality and Peter Osborne, ed. Socialism and the Limits of
Liberalism.  

I won't be able to continue this thread until I have studied the question
more deeply.  Especially because the positions which I think I will find
convincing will force me into confrontation with minds more powerful and
trained than mine.  

But given the importance of the question, I hope that you find someone to
carry the dialogue on with.  Is there a Cauldwellian or anti-Cauldwellian
out there?  

Yours,
Rakesh
