    Hedging on Christian Nationalism: A Critique of Noetic Regression

    Dr Neville Buch   Abstract Nick Spencer’s article, “Christian Nationalism,” provides a valuable taxonomy of a burgeoning global phenomenon, yet from the perspective of Dr. Neville Buch’s Matrix of Sociology and the Dynamic of Cognition (DoC), it ultimately “hedges” by failing to diagnose the movement as a profound state of denoetization and Passive Nihilism.

    “They” know what they are doing is wrong: Attempts to remove the historical record

    When a governance seeks to destroy or remove historical records, it commits an act of “temporal tyranny” that fundamentally undermines the possibility of social accountability and ethical self-understanding. Because “understanding history is philosophy in practice,” the removal of records is not merely a loss of data but a direct intervention into the mental architecture of…

  • The Vices and Virtues of Humanity

    The Vices and Virtues of Humanity

    Dr Neville Buch   Abstract:   Humanity is defined by an originary de-fault, a lack of innate qualities that necessitates the invention of the “human” through technics, culture, and the articulation of memory. Within this prosthetic existence, the vices of humanity arise from an “immense regression” into Historical Forgetfulness (the Epimethean fault) and a submission…
