I am very interested in philosophy and marxian/critical theory in 
particular, but I'm a history student also, and particularly 
interested where the two fields converge (marxian historipgraphy 
being a beautiful example).  I am always interested in seeing 
philosophers/cultural critics have a real effect on history and how 
it is seen.  Neumann's work in the legal justification of the 
Nuremberg trials is exactly that.
