Dear joshua_78:

I’m afraid my response is going to disappoint you. I know of Jacques Ellul only in connection with his views on anarchy and Christianity. I’m not aware of his other works (or, at least, I wasn’t until you brought them to my attention) – so much to read, so little time! However, I’m very glad to have the referral and I’ll look them up and consult them as soon as I can.

You ask me to remark on other philosophers who have embodied similar views of the struggle of the individual vs collectivism: The lectures on Liberty’s Progress are my attempt to do just that in a broad historical context.

Please do revert to me if you would like to continue the conversation. If you add anything to the Forum, send me an email alert so that I can respond quickly. Write to gerard.casey@ucd.ie

Thank you so much for your kind remarks on my contributions. Because recordings are, of necessity, not live, one is always afraid that one is not connecting with one’s audience
