Re: [ejlist] Historical-political analysis and EJ

Dear Bertil,
I've read that book, and Schwarz's essay as well, of course. Schwarz older 
book dealing with Juenger is quite a good one, no doubt about that. His essay 
in Schwilk's birthday book for Juenger on the other hand is not convincing at 
all. To  discuss some of Juenger's prognosises is exactly what I'd like to do 
here in this (serious, as I hope) mailing list. It's not that I'd like to 
prove anything to you, I'd like to dicuss these questions of my own, as I 
have been dealing with Juenger now for long, and I'm trying to evaluate: what 
is his importance as philosopher, are his prognosises relevant, do they give 
any new insight, always compared with analysts like Marx, Schmitt, Kondylis, 
and others.
I would be very grateful if you could start with discussing this topic. If 
you don't like that, if you prefer to go on with your "school" without being 
disturbed by questions from outside, I'll leave you alone. It's quite 
interesting for me, because I observed the mailing list members' discussion 
concerning the NATO bombing in Yugoslavia, which started with Ernst Juenger 
as reference point, but didn't prove any specific applicability of 
"Juengerian" insights in this concrete case.
For my sake let's discuss his models of recognition in a more abstract manner 
then.
Curiously waiting for arguments,
Yours very truly
