Knight's Gambit To Fool's Mate: Beyond Legal Realism, Eric A. Engle
Knight's Gambit To Fool's Mate: Beyond Legal Realism, Eric A. Engle
Eric A. Engle
In the 1930s the American left took the gambit of abandoning objective moral values to implement a socially redistributive agenda. The result has been a long term debacle with a complete isolation of the left wing in American political life for by abandoning objective moral values the left also abandoned its own ability to claim morality and empowered thereby economic values as the only remaining objective value. This article traces the theoretical failures of the left which resulted over time in the political isolation of the left and suggest ways to change that.
