immanent critque/Nuremberg/neumann

[MSalter1@aol.com]

Neumann's real effects were somewhat limited and largely frustrated by the
emergent of the cold-war ideological bi-polarisation, yet his model of
critical theory where the theory / practice relationship is viewed from the
side of practice could fare a lot better under post-1989 conditions,
especially the current revival in neo-fascist thought and politics and the
Schmitt revival - possibly a delayed "real effect"?

 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.
