In their new book Ethical Realism, Anatol Lieven and John Hulsman argue that we need need a better agenda in our foreign policy. Anatol Lieven was interviewed on Open Source Radio this week and I think it was their best episode yet. For those of you who agreed with my points in my Kingdom of God and Terror - A Response post these authors present much of the same idea from a more secular sociological perspective. I believe that being citizens of the kingdom of God should lead us to these conclusions, they feel being human should, but we end up with many of the same conclusions.
Whether you agree with me or not it is worth listening to since they vocalize these ideas more articulately than I did.
Have yet to find a philosophical somewhere I am content to call home. The closest I get to a creed these days is a quote by John Green. "Whether I believe in God isn’t really relevant. I do believe however tenuously in Mercy" Due to a lot of personal reasons encountered along this journey, I have mostly stepped away from writing for now. Still, sometimes something stirs me and I need space to hash out my thoughts. So welcome to my little space along the journey.
