	The Chronicle: 1/18/2002: Richard Wolin, an Intellectual Historian, Works at the Bloody Crossroads of Ideas and Ideology
		Wolin suggested that their relationship had clouded her judgment of his work; the woman who wrote The Origins of Totalitarianism later published essays that excused her ex-lover's support for the Nazis on the grounds that his mind was too refined and aloof to have grasped the brutality of the movement he had joined.
		Wolin pursues critics of "bourgeois democracy" (as he might have called it in his New Left days) does not mean that the intellectual historian has become a conservative.
		Wolin recalls reaching an "intellectual turning point" 20 years ago, when he attended a series of lectures by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, who is often considered the last member of the Frankfurt School of neo-Marxist social critics.

		Wolin also sees a role for RF surgery in injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament, in which today’s conventional repairs do not meet the same degree of success seen for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
		Wolin expects the future use of RF procedures to be widespread, and he believes that the capsular shift will be broadly employed.

		Wolin’s view of the Philadelphia Convention was as a revolutionary strategy for establishing a central government that broke with the established direction of political development and the experience of the Thirteen Colonies.
		Wolin does this in an essay critical of college curricula shaped by a concern for jobs at the expense of the study of literature, philosophy, history and art.

	Two Cheers for Democracy (washingtonpost.com)
		Wolin argues that Tocqueville's embrace of political liberty as the central political value stokes his fear that "a combination of political democracy and social equality" poses a dire threat to freedom.
		Wolin delves into Tocqueville's response to this peril, including the daunting role he assigned to religion and settled ideas about the moral life in taming the materialistic egalitarianism that arises from a highly individualistic market society.
		Wolin concludes that the course of democratic life in America since the 19th century presents a "crisis of the political" from whose challenges Tocqueville himself shrank as his own politics became more fearful and problematic.

		When Wolin's engagement with the role of tacit knowledge is joined to his pagan appreciation of a deep plurality of being he is pulled toward inserting into the very idea of the political a constitutive tension between established commonality and the politics of becoming.
		To the extent Wolin acknowledges a constitutive tension between the politics of established commonality and the politics of becoming, by which the common is changed or pluralized, we are his allies.
		Wolin, for instance, fears that the proliferation of difference will overwhelm the possibility of democratic action in concert; but he also resists consolidation of the common into a unity tight enough to be a nation.

	Heidegger's Children : Hannah Arendt, Karl Lowith, Hans Jonas, and Herbert Marcuse - EBooks Store (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wolin's introductory chapter sets a context -- the real problem for Heidegger's students was to determine whether or not there was something integral, something necessary in the connection between the political totalitarian and vicious National-Socialism and Heidegger's existentialist ideas.
		Wolin, a historian at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, is far more fond of these thinkers than he is of their mentor, but he frets that their work, like that of Derrida, exhibits ''a series of deep-seated prejudices'' about the modern West that reveals their Heideggerian pedigree.
		Partly, Wolin suggests, it was because they were secular, assimilated Jews who had staked their German identity on their mastery of the nation's cultural traditions, and Heidegger stood as a sort of ''self-proclaimed heir'' to those traditions.

	Illuminations: Best
		Wolin's standpoint is clearly neo-Marxist and is strongly influenced by the Frankfurt School, Habermas in particular, and he seeks to create a stronger modern critical position through confrontation with other theories.
		Wolin finds this turn a regression behind the better aspects of interdisciplinary research and a forfeiture of the positive aspects of enlightenment reason which are reduced to a project of instrumental domination.
		Wolin argues convincingly that Derrida intends deconstruction to be a form of materialist criticism that challenges the notion of the autonomy of the text.

		Now Wolin has handed down an opinion that speaks directly to the appellate court, defending his use of a team of advisers, explaining his creative and novel approaches to case management in such a massive case, and answering his critics' charges point for point.
		Although his critics have argued that Wolin chose biased advisers and then proceeded to give them too much power over the cases, Wolin insists that the advisers were brought in purely to educate the court and had no power unless given a specific task by the court.
		Wolin urged the appellate court to give trial judges the freedom to be creative in case management, especially in mass tort cases, and to acquire the education needed to tackle the case wisely.

	Comparative Literature: Book reviews -- The Terms of Cultural Criticism: The Frankfurt School, Existentialism, ...
		Wolin's own theoretical sympathies lie with the Frankfurt School, but he is not uncritical in his observations on their project.
		Ultimately, Wolin asserts, Foucault never overcame a futile search for normative grounding in the "other" of reason, and his aesthetic voluntarism, derived from Nietzsche and apparent in the final two volumes of The History of Sexuality, is the unfortunate consequence of this search.
		Although Wolin's well-argued and thoughtful essays would be a welcome corrective to much of the trendy theory that abounds among students of literature, those most in need of correction are unlikely ever to read them, or, if they do, to entertain the alternative of antifoundationalist, communicative, ethical thought that Wolin obviously prefers.

	The Rhetorical Imagination of Kenneth Burke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wolin argues that each of these represented a rearticulation and extension of the writer's previous studies, all of which brought together socially and politically charged ideas born of World War I, the Great Depression, and the aesthetic movement of the 1920s and early 1930s.
		Wolin suggests that Burke turned to psychology, history, literature, philosophy, and religion, while increasing his focus on rhetoric and the general nature of language, in the hope of overcoming the formidable rhetorical problems that his scrambling of intellectual categories inevitably produced.
		Wolin contends that by the time Burke formulated his theory of dramatism in A Grammar of Motives, his complex and abstract discussions of philosophy and linguistics obscured the strongly social and political aims of his writings.

		Wolin was assigned the five cases in late 2001 by the chief judge of the 3rd Circuit in what Wolin has described as an "unprecedented concentration of authority over nationwide asbestos litigation" for coordinated management of the complex cases.
		Wolin said he had neither a personal bias toward any party, nor personal knowledge of disputed evidence, reasons a judge must disqualify himself.

	Greg Barns reviews Richard Wolin's expose of postmodernists including Jacques Derrida: 'The seduction of reason'. - On ...
		Nietzsche, Wolin correctly surmises, was delusional (he wrote to musician Carl Fuchs in 1888, "I shall be ruling the world from now on") and an enemy of democracy.
		Wolin couples Derrida's view that law and justice never coincide ("general maxims - be they moral, constitutional, or legal - are intrinsically incapable of doing justice to the specificity of the individual case") with his preparedness to sanction "a violent act of revolutionary founding" because it creates a pristine abyss.
		Wolin accuses the post-modernists of being “inconsistent and confused.” On the one hand, he notes, they “bask in the freedoms of political liberalism - to whose institutions they are indebted for their brilliant academic careers - while biting the hand that feeds them”.

		Wolin's explication of Tocqueville's works is, to repeat, solid and at times excellent—especially his treatment of the New England township and of the ideological character of modernity.
		Wolin never appreciates that for Tocqueville, religion is not so much a means of social control as a source of strength—of empowerment, as we now say—for individuals as well as peoples.
		Wolin refers to texts proving that Tocqueville is well aware that an appearance of disinterested passion is an attractive quality in a politician.

	Presence of the Past by Sheldon Wolin - A Book Review by Scott London
		Bicentennials "are by nature civic," Wolin writes, public "rituals organized to promote a mythic history." While they appear to be celebrating the past, however, they tell us more about our collective identity in the present.
		After a brief introduction, Wolin looks at what he considers "the main paradox at the center of the American Constitution": the dual principles of restrained and divided power, on the one hand, and the sovereign power of "the people," on the other.
		In "Democracy and the Welfare State," Wolin sketches a theory of state power based on the connection between the concept of Reason of State (staatsrason) and the principles of the welfare state.

	The New York Review of Books: 'L'Affaire Derrida': Yet Another Exchange
		Sheehan contentedly putting in brackets "[i.e., Wolin]" in a footnote, without bothering to point out his addition in the body of the text, thus letting the reader ignorant of French believe that this travestied sentence is Derrida's.
		But Wolin appears to have long since made up his mind that Derrida's work "deconstructs into nonexistence the gravity of Heidegger's Nazism" (NYR, March 25), and he was not about to expose his conviction—or his translation—to scrutiny from a thinker he so desperately seeks to condemn and disqualify.
		Derrida did that not because Wolin had acted illegally (he had not), not because Wolin had been discourteous (he was not), not because the translation is "execrable" (it is not, and there are infinitely worse translations of Derrida).
