Comment

Excellent overview, thank you. This will be very helpful to non-philosophers who drop by this page, and I hope the main Bloch article will get the same treatment eventually. Shii (tock) 12:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the compliment, but the article is not nearly finished yet. There is still much more material that needs to be added. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 06:53, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

It seems very strange that a section with the title "Synopsis" should include so much polemic against the book by Bloch. Shouldn't such biased material be separate from something which purports to summarize the book(s) by Ernst Bloch? The polemic should be in a separate section called "criticism" as is done with other Wikipedia entries.

Mind you, I have seen this many time in Wikipedia. Left wing ideas, or books by left wing authors, are polluted by heaps of antagonistic polemic masquerading as objective analysis. The polemic drowns out everything else and misleads the reader into taking sides before they are able to form their own opinions - much like the vast wasteland of television.
