I'm in the process of redocumenting and adapting some of the documents to the new environment, but they should all point you in the direction that I originally wanted to point them in. There's a hint in there of something I intend to do eventually, which is reconciling his work with macrotheory. Postmodernism has spent a lot of time tearing at the foundations of traditional models of social science. Postmodernism and Karl Marx details some of what I find distasteful about this direction in the field. Centered on Pierre Goubert's book, Louis XIV and Twenty Million Frenchmen , I examine the legacy and impact of King Louis, and point at two other works, Jean-Louis Flandrin's Families in Former Times , and George Rude's The Crowd in History , which I'd suggest adapting into a fuller understanding of the period.
Biologists hate philosophers hate historians hate biologists.
I think we need them all The Correlation Between Evolution and Ethics is my attempt to put all three in a room and make them talk to each other. It's incumbent on those of us who don't study one thing single-mindedly to try to put all of these groundbreaking discoveries into a framework that allows us to live with all of this wonderful new information. I also have provided a commentary on it, which I'd suggest reading after you've read the work itself. As you've discovered if you've been to my biographic page , I was born and raised in Long Beach, California. As a student of history, culture, and society, I'd be remiss if I didn't look at the environment that has most strongly colored my thinking.
