[Xmca-l] Re: Hegel for Social Movements

[Andy Blunden]

The whole point of an adventure is that it is 
transformative, and my point was that the examples in "The 
Problem of the Environment" gave the impression that 
perezhivaniya are only traumas to be survived; sometimes 
they are opportunities seized.

In any case, I hope I have done more than summarise, but 
offer a real adventure for readers who are willing to 
explore Hegel.
