* Wolin, Richard.

Richard Wolin has argued since 1991 that Derrida's work, as well as that of Derrida's major inspirations ( e. g., Bataille, Blanchot, Levinas, Heidegger, Nietzsche ), leads to a corrosive nihilism.

In 1991, the dispute with Richard Wolin, which was also conducted and publicized through the mass circulation magazine The New York Review of Books, also included charges of nihilism.

'" Richard Wolin observes, "... it is Hegel qua philosopher of the " bureaucratic class " or Beamtenstaat that has been definitely surpassed with Hitler's triumph .... this class of civil servants — which Hegel in the Rechtsphilosophie deems the " universal class "— represents an impermissible drag on the sovereignty of executive authority.

Richard Wolin ( The Seduction of Unreason 2004 ) has traced the modern descendants of the Counter-Enlightenment in postmodernism ’ s deep suspicion of “ universalism ,” paralleled by its endorsement of “ identity politics ,” and concludes that it has worked against the values of toleration and mutual recognition, not merely of diversity but of commonality.

In his final book, Theories of Culture in Postmodern Times, Harris argued that the political consequences of postmodern theory were harmful, a critique similar to those later developed by philosopher Richard Wolin and others.

Historian Richard Wolin has used the term left fascism in arguing that some European intellectuals ' have been infatuated with post-modernist or anti-enlightenment theories, opening up the opportunity for cult-like, irrational, anti-democratic positions that combine characteristics of the Left with those of fascism.

Richard Wolin is an intellectual historian.

In addition to the usual canon of Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Machiavelli and Rousseau, Wolin wrote penetrating essays on Augustine of Hippo, Richard Hooker, David Hume, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Max Weber, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and John Dewey as well as books on the American Constitution and Alexis de Tocqueville.

Twenty-four academics, belonging to different schools and groups – often in disagreement with each other and with deconstruction – signed a letter addressed to The New York Review of Books, in which they expressed their indignation for the magazine's behaviour as well as that of Sheenan and Wolin.

Shortly after the inhabitants of Wolin accepted Christianity, and in 1140 pope Innocent II created a diocese there, with capital in the town of Wolin.

The island is separated to the east from the neighbouring island of Wolin by the Świna () strait ( or river ), which is the main route connecting Szczecin Bay with the Pomeranian Bay, a part of the Baltic Sea.

Świnoujście has four railway stations on the eastern bank of the Świna, on Wolin island, with regular regional connections to Szczecin and long-distance connections to other cities in Poland.

At the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 and the Treaty of Stettin in 1653, Sweden received Western Pomerania, or Vorpommern with the islands of Rügen, Usedom, and Wolin, and a strip of Eastern Pomerania, or Hinterpommern.

A strip of land east of the Oder River containing the districts of Damm and Gollnow and the island of Wolin and Western Pomerania ( Vorpommern ) with the islands of Rügen and Usedom, was ceded to the Swedes as a fief from Emperor Ferdinand III.

When the Swedes were reinforced on 1 April it was decided that they would attempt to break the siege, this was done with some success since the Swedes managed to take Usedom and Wolin.

Jomsborg is thought to be identical with the present-day town of Wolin ( also Wollin ) on the southeastern tip of the isle of Wolin, probably located at Silberberg hill north of the town.

In the North, the lagoon is connected to the Baltic Sea's Bay of Pomerania with the three straits Peenestrom, Świna () and Dziwna (), which divide the mainland and the islands of Usedom () and Wolin ().

The Dziwna () is an eastern strait, river or a branch of the Oder River out of three straits connecting the Oder Lagoon with the Bay of Pomerania of the Baltic Sea, between the island of Wolin and the Polish mainland.

Nonetheless, plans were proposed to build a single full-size gun with a barrel at Misdroy on the Baltic island of Wolin, near Peenemünde, while construction at the Mimoyecques site in France ( which had already been attacked by the USAAF and the RAF ) went ahead.

Elsewhere, in an article entitled " Inverted Totalitarianism " Wolin cites phenomena such as the lack of involvement of citizens in a narrow political framework ( due to the influence of money ), the privatization of social security, and massive increases in military spending and spending on surveillance as examples of the push away from public and towards private-controlled government.

The Świna (; Pomeranian: Swina ) is a river in Poland flowing from the Oder Lagoon to the Baltic Sea, between the islands of Usedom and Wolin.

In the south it is separated from the Oder Lagoon in the mouth of the Oder River by the islands of Usedom / Uznam and Wolin, connected by three straits or branches of the Oder: Dziwna, Świna and Peene.

It is separated from the Pomeranian Bay of the Baltic Sea by the islands of Usedom and Wolin.

After teaching briefly at Oberlin College, Wolin taught at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1954 to 1970.

At Princeton, Wolin led a successful faculty effort to pass a resolution urging university trustees to divest from endowment investment in firms that supported South African apartheid.

Aside from Oberlin, UC Berkeley and Princeton, Wolin has also taught at UC Santa Cruz, UC Los Angeles, International Christian University ( Tokyo, Japan ), Cornell University, and Oxford University.

From 1973 through 1987, Wolin was Professor of Politics at Princeton University where he mentored a large number of students who have subsequently become leading figures in contemporary political theory, including most notably: at Berkeley, Hanna Pitkin ( Emeritus, Berkeley ), J. Peter Euben ( Duke University ) and Harlan Wilson ( Oberlin ), and at Princeton, Uday Mehta ( Amherst College ), Wendy Brown ( Berkeley ), Dana Villa ( Notre Dame ), Nicholas Xenos ( Massachusetts ), Kirstie McClure ( UCLA ) and Cornel West ( Princeton ).

Sample ( 2003 ) notes that it is argued by Steven Wolin, a clinical psychiatrist at George Washington University in Washington DC, that the study of positive psychology is a reiteration of older ways of thinking in positive psychology.

In 1950, Wolin received his Harvard University doctorate for a dissertation titled Conservatism and Constitutionalism: A Study in English Constitutional Ideas, 1760 – 1785.

Derrida in turn responded to Sheehan and Wolin, in " The Work of Intellectuals and the Press ( The Bad Example: How the New York Review of Books and Company do Business )," which was published in the book Points ....
