Bad grammar aside, I thought my point was non-mysterious. If, after
I've given a detailed argument as to why some philosophy is false and
harmful, someone retorts that philosopher X actually had politically
progressive views, why should I then be more favorably disposed
towards said bullshit?
Ralph you say that you are "not terribly impressed to show a favorable
attitude towards philosophies just because some of their proponents were
political progressive individuals. This shows a rather provincial
approach to intellectual problems and their broader ideological
implications." I am i
I wonder if this is unequivocally true about the Frankfurters. For
sure, Adorno, Horkheimer, and Marcuse had an animus against
positivism, but it is not necessarily the case that they viewed the

Thank you for the help in relation to the Vienna Circle. It is a circle
that has been much misunderstood in radical left circles. When I was in my
late teens I was led to the view that it was a crassly reactionary group.
Why did Wittgenstein not view himself as a logical positivist? What, if
