Entry: A Tale of Two Normans: Podhoretz and Finklestein Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_tale_of_two_normans_podhoretz_and_finklestein#8093 Post contents: @DAvid To what do you call an ideologue? Someone who has read a bit more extensively on certain things and who can apply historical thinking? Someone who can recall that the great push to classify race on scientific and biological terms happened in the nineteenth century, and was conteporary with Darwinism? Because if man is only an animal, then race can be paramount to him. But if he is more than an animal, then race is an incidental, one more element that will, provide the souls with more opportunites to save or damn itself. And the one important thing is to avoid damnation. Sent at: 2008 05 15
