Subject: Imprints: A journal of analytical socialism
Date: Tue; 20 Feb 1996 15:11:10 +0000 (GMT)
Dear Comrades I attach below details of Imprints: A Journal of Analytical Socialism the first issue of which will appear in June this year. If you wish to contribute you should contact me Chris Bertramsubscriptions should be directed to 58 Wilmer Drive Bradford BD9 4AS United Kingdom. The flavour of the journal is analytical Marxist but it is analytical 'socialist' because we don't want to get into disputes about theoretical demarcation and want to remain open to other currents of thought. My own background is as a political philosopher. I was formerly a member of the editorial committe of New Left Review but resigned (along with the majority of the committee) because of unacceptable proprietorial interference. Chris Bertram IMPRINTS: A JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL SOCIALISM _________________________________________________________________ Imprints aims to promote a critical discussion of socialist ideas freed from theoretical dogma but committed to the viability of an egalitarian and democratic politics. We take for granted that most societies in the world are characterised by class oppression but that class division does not exhaust the unjust inequalities to which their peoples are subject. Contributions are invited on topics such as the theory of history the normative foundations of politics and the philosophical foundations of social inquiry; and on social inequality political practice and institutional change. The criteria for the acceptance of papers include analytical power and empirical rigour; no school of thought or intellectual tradition is excluded though we are committed to the view that the world remains a rationally intelligible place. _________________________________________________________________ PROVISIONAL CONTENTS OF VOL. 1 NO. 1 (JUNE 1996) INCLUDE * An interview with G. A. Cohen * Alan Carling: 'Analytical Marxism and Social Change' * Graeme Kirkpatrick 'Northern Ireland since the Peace' * Ian Gough reviews Philippe Van Parijs Real Freedom for All _________________________________________________________________ Editor: Christopher Bertram Associate Editors: Alan Carling Jennifer Hornsby Graeme Kirkpatrick Published three times a year in March June and September _____________________________________________________________ * Subscriptions: Individual UK 15 UK pounds Individual support/overseas 20 UK pounds Institutions should double these rates.

Subject: Bad Haircut E-Zine #13 (fwd)
* In the democratic system, the necessary illusions cannot be imposed by force. Rather, they must be instilled in the public mind by more subtle means. A totalitarian state can be satisfied with lesser degrees of allegiance to required truths. It is sufficient that people obey; what they think is a secondary concern. But in a democratic political order, there is always the danger that independent thought might be translated into political action, so it is important to eliminate the threat at its root.
