On our part, we thank God if our words may offer greater enlighten­ ment to some employers and consequently greater effort to their work­ ers, in the noble accomplishment of their respective rights and duties. We write, furthermore, for employers of good will who know .they are their workers' brothers and who wish to act as such. We write with anguish at seeing a future world torn by ektreme violence, a future which can be avoided only by a Christian social doctrure, annointed by fraternal charity. Workers have the indispensable duty imposed by nature to live in a worthy manner and to see to it that their wives and children live in a worthy manner. They have no means of accomplishing this duty ex­ cept through their work. Thus their-work must be a sufficient means to them.

  • The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture
    The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture: Anarchy, the Beats and the Psychedelic Transformation of Consciousness By Ed D’Angelo Copyright © Ed D’Angelo 2019 A much shortened version of this paper appeared as “Anarchism and the Beats” in The Philosophy of the Beats, edited by Sharin Elkholy and published by University Press of Kentucky in 2012. 1 The postwar American counterculture was established by a small circle of so- called “beat” poets located primarily in New York and San Francisco in the late 1940s and 1950s. Were it not for the beats of the early postwar years there would have been no “hippies” in the 1960s. And in spite of the apparent differences between the hippies and the “punks,” were it not for the hippies and the beats, there would have been no punks in the 1970s or 80s, either. The beats not only anticipated nearly every aspect of hippy culture in the late 1940s and 1950s, but many of those who led the hippy movement in the 1960s such as Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg were themselves beat poets. By the 1970s Allen Ginsberg could be found with such icons of the early punk movement as Patty Smith and the Clash. The beat poet William Burroughs was a punk before there were “punks,” and was much loved by punks when there were. The beat poets, therefore, helped shape the culture of generations of Americans who grew up in the postwar years. But rarely if ever has the philosophy of the postwar American counterculture been seriously studied by philosophers.

Une tradition européenne plus que millénaire avait applaudi à l'assassinat des despotes; l'autorité intellectuelle la moins contestée dans l'Eglise catholique elle-même, celle de Saint Thomas d'Aquin le Docteur angélique, justifiait le tyrannicide; plus récem­ ment, le Guillaume Tell de Schiller et tout le romantisme allemand, donnaient à ces actions éclatantes un caractère patriotique et chevaleresque; le terrorisme, et l'anarchisme qu'on lui associait, semblaient admirables sous le despotisme czariste ; ils étaient détestables dans une république li­ bérale que, bon gré mal gré, toutes les sommités intel­ lectuelles et politiques de l'Occident saluaient comme une démocratie.

  • Ammon Hennacy and the Hopi Traditionalist Movement: Roots of the Counterculture’S Favorite Indians
    Ammon Hennacy and the Hopi Traditionalist Movement: Roots of the Counterculture’s Favorite Indians BRIAN D. HALEY INTRODUCTION About 2,400 feet above the desert floor in the Santa Catalina Mountains northeast of Tucson, Arizona, standing among oaks, piñons, and junipers charred by a devastating 2003 forest fire, are a few remnants of an old federal prison facility. The location is now named the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Site in honor of the brave Japanese American who contested and eventually overturned his convictions for resisting Japanese curfew and relocation during the anti-Japanese hysteria that ensued after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The former Tucson Federal Prison Camp had been created in 1939 as a low- security prison where inmates served their sentences in hard labor building the Catalina Highway that snakes its way through the rugged Santa Catalina Mountains of the Coronado National Forest. As war began, the prison housed conscientious objectors, draft resisters, Japanese American relocation resisters, unauthorized Mexican immigrants, and others. Among those imprisoned in the camp between 1941 and 1949 were a small number of Hopi Indians from northern Arizona who had been convicted of draft evasion when their religious objections to military service were rejected by the courts.1 The Hopi internees included two formally educated men, Chester Mote and Thomas Banyacya (then known as Thomas Jenkins), who would later become friends with Ammon Hennacy, a veteran conscientious objector of both world wars and a passionate advocate for pacifism and what he called “Christian anarchism.”2 Mote would sustain a correspondence with Hennacy for two years before BRIAN D.

  • Anarchism and Religion
    Anarchism and Religion Nicolas Walter 1991 For the present purpose, anarchism is defined as the political and social ideology which argues that human groups can and should exist without instituted authority, and especially as the historical anarchist movement of the past two hundred years; and religion is defined as the belief in the existence and significance of supernatural being(s), and especially as the prevailing Judaeo-Christian systemof the past two thousand years. My subject is the question: Is there a necessary connection between the two and, if so, what is it? The possible answers are as follows: there may be no connection, if beliefs about human society and the nature of the universe are quite independent; there may be a connection, if such beliefs are interdependent; and, if there is a connection, it may be either positive, if anarchism and religion reinforce each other, or negative, if anarchism and religion contradict each other. The general assumption is that there is a negative connection logical, because divine andhuman authority reflect each other; and psychological, because the rejection of human and divine authority, of political and religious orthodoxy, reflect each other. Thus the French Encyclopdie Anarchiste (1932) included an article on Atheism by Gustave Brocher: ‘An anarchist, who wants no all-powerful master on earth, no authoritarian government, must necessarily reject the idea of an omnipotent power to whom everything must be subjected; if he is consistent, he must declare himself an atheist.’ And the centenary issue of the British anarchist paper Freedom (October 1986) contained an article by Barbara Smoker (president of the National Secular Society) entitled ‘Anarchism implies Atheism’.

    “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer Raids to the Sixties by Andrew Cornell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social and Cultural Analysis Program in American Studies New York University January, 2011 _______________________ Andrew Ross © Andrew Cornell All Rights Reserved, 2011 “I am undertaking something which may turn out to be a resume of the English speaking anarchist movement in America and I am appalled at the little I know about it after my twenty years of association with anarchists both here and abroad.” -W.S. Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

    CATHOLIC WORKE~ Subscri pti on 1 Vol. XX No. 7 FEBRUARY., 1954 25c Per Year Price le The Pope And Peace By Dorothy Day On New Year's day I began to read the Pope's Christmas message which was printed partly in the New York Times, and noticed that directly under his message, on page one, column one, the Soviet wishes the world a merry Christmas. Christmas, the broadcast said, al­ • ways conveys the finest cherished hopes of plain people and their deep rooted faith in·the possibility of. a peaceful happy life, but no time in the past few years has the conversion of that possibility into reality been so close and so real as at the present time. The broad­ cast added that certain "govern­ ments of the west have been forced to pay heed to the popular demand that the spirit of negotiation pre­ vails over decisions based on force." More than half the Pope's mes­ sage of 5,000 words was discussion of the materialism that results from technological progress and particularly from the "spirit which finds what is to be most highly prized in human life is the advan­ tages that can be derived from the forces and elements of nature." The Times went on to say, that the Pope's message was one of the _wi. gl~iest of modern times. He is .--- -,.... ..,•• '>le ...., sucb- mtisfic:d \\itli the l>togress ~ - ·is peace and regards what pe.... - we have as a very fragile af­ fair. "Many people were astonished , that the Pope did not speak of Catholics who suffer persecution behind the iron curtain except for a brief reference to them in the blessing which concluded the mes­ sage." Perhaps the Holy Father thought the persecuted ones were in a better spiritual way than those who were living under the mate­ rialism of the west.
