My Drill Instructor was Staff Sergeant Cathcart. He had a strong Southern
accent."
For the record, we can call Jackson a philosopher. I think there is only
one reference to his theory in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, under
the entry 'Communitarianism'.
"Communitarians who advocate both increased commitment to public affairs
and strengthened ties to the workplace (to the point that it becomes a
psychological community) also face the problem of conflicting commitments.
Michael Sandel, for example, speaks favorable of ‘proud craftsmen’ in the
Jacksonian era and of Louis Brandeis's idea of ‘industrial democracy, in which
workers participated in management and shared responsibilities for running
the business’."
True, the reference is to the Jacksonian era; but as Geary would wonder,
"what would the Jacksonian era be without Jackson?"
Cheers,
Speranza
