deification May 29, 2007
Posted by ocmpoma in : other , trackbackI just read through “The Apotheosis of American Democracy” — available here — and found James Montayne’s take on the conflict of selfishness vs cooperation and its result for politics to be a fairly decent summation and elaboration of lots of other stuff I’ve come across. He makes a good case for fighting our own tendencies and for championing reason over faith; but I always find myself wondering after reading such arguments if the idea that we have to overcome our own natures is just another facet of our natures…
Oh, well; I suppose I just think too much.
