Well, I’m off to Auburn, Alabama for Mises University 2005. I probably won’t be blogging until I get back, although I’ll try to blog about MU while I’m there if I can get enough internet access.

Objectivism and Austrian Economics

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 18, 2005 @ 11:01 pm (Austrian) Economics

Today I left a comment over at SOLOHQ on Heidi Morris’s article “Reason and Reality: The Logical Compatibility of Austrian Economics and Objectivism,” disagreeing with what I take to be mistaken views of Austrian economics by a couple of the other commentors. The article is interesting, and admirable in its attempt to bridge the divide [...]

Constitutional Anarchy (Cont.)

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 17, 2005 @ 3:24 pm Dialectical Libertarianism

To supplement my previous posts (1 and 2) on the subject of anarchy, it occurred to me that Constitutional Anarchy is probably a better term for what I have thus far called Republican Anarchy. It is not classical republicanism but constitutionalism under which the principle of the separation of powers properly falls. The term Constitutional [...]

Anarchism, Statism, and Dualism (Cont.)

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 14, 2005 @ 12:19 pm Dialectical Libertarianism

My original post was brief and hasty (a bad habit of mine I’m trying to break, and it obviously failed to convince the sympathetic but skeptical Chris. Although I cannot, at this point in time, write a full length article or book on the subject, I think it would be worthwhile to elaborate on my [...]

Recipe: Tamarind Rice w. Peanuts

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 13, 2005 @ 9:19 am Featured Posts

I forgot to mention that my wife is Indian, so a lot of the recipes I’ll be posting will be Indian dishes. I also like Chinese, Thai, Greek and Lebanese, Italian, and Mexican food, so you’ll see some of those as well, plus the occasional American or European dish. The lime rice recipe I posted [...]

Recipe: Lime (or Lemon) Rice w. Peanuts

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 13, 2005 @ 8:05 am Featured Posts

I’m the cook of the house. My wife doesn’t like to cook, would actually rather wash dishes. And since I like food, I kinda like to cook (especially when I get tired of preparing store-bought crap), so I do the cooking. There has been some demand for some of my recipes among friends and family [...]

Is anarchism inherently dualistic?

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché July 12, 2005 @ 6:32 pm Dialectical Libertarianism

In his books, Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical and Total Freedom: Toward a Dialectical Libertarianism, and elsewhere, Chris Sciabarra relates Ayn Rand’s criticism (as well as his own) of the apparently dualistic nature of anarchism (especially Rothbard’s version). Sciabarra is far more sympathetic to anarchism than Rand ever was. In this post I will, for [...]
