After glancing at Georges site, it seems to me to
be a play for recognition. Notice how every page of the site is prefaced by his
name. Ironically, it seems to me, it is this type of self-promotion which drives
dialectics. The search for contradiction being in essence a search for
self-righteousness. Hegel recognized this which is he postulated an
end to dialectics when everyone is free from the struggle for power.. ie equal
in spirit. Thus it can be said that it is democracy which leads to the NMT, not
the other way around. Note Marx also implies the same, as does Adam Smith. Both
theories pointing to the end of self-doubt through a recognotion of mutual
self-respect. The difference between the two being one of means rather than
ends. Respectfully,
JB
