Welcome to my website...

To learn more about me, you may be interested to read my Philosophical Adventures -- a short autobiographical essay that chronicles the places, people, and ideas that have been influential in my life.

Also be sure to check out my ongoing blog: BlogLeft.

In 2005, I published Media Spectacle and the Crisis of Democracy, which argues that 'media spectacles' have come to dominate news covereage and distract the public from the substance of real public issues. Exploring the role of media spectacle in the 9/11 attacks and subsequent Terror Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it documents the centrality of media politics in advancing foreign policy agendas and militarism.

In 2004, I edited the third volume of The Collected Papers of Herbert Marcuse: The New Left and the 1960s. The fourth volume, Art and Liberation, is due to be published later this year.

In the other sections of this website, you can find the full texts of many of my previous books and essays archived and made freely available, as well as a number of streaming audio and video files. Here are some of the latest essays added to the website:
