The Ontology of Violence throughout is juxtaposed with the uniquel...

Both a critique of De Maistre and De Bonald but also of the positivist founding of Sociology, the basis for reactionary thought today is both discovered as heterodox theology and critiqued as such.

Tyler and Isidore discuss an important text by Dr. William Cavanaugh titled "The Myth of Religious Violence". We discuss the "myth of religious violence", that is, the concept of religion as a transcultural, transhistorical, tendency of humanity for irrational and blind faith, culminating in intolerance and war. This myth of religion is used at home and abroad to justify "secular" and "democratic" violence.
