Escape from the 19th century other - essays

Did the nineteenth century ever come to an end? Was the twentieth century just a re-run? If to know History as tragedy is to escape its repetition as farce, then perhaps we need to look more deeply at this Past that wont stop haunting us. Two illuminated madmenCharles Fourier and Friedrich Nietzscheand two too-sane geniusesJ.-P. Proudhon and Karl Marxare enlisted in the break-out plan. The shape of this plan is then suggested in a final essay showing how old rights and customs of paleolithic reciprocity and eqalitarian spirituality have made innumerable re-entries into History.
