Here is my entry into Subscribestar community.  I came here to help fund my academic research on the history of political thought and the history of ideas at a time when the academic world has become as bad as any Stalinist/Totalitarian regime or Orwell's 1984.  Today scholars like in the time of the Renaissance and the early Enlightenment eras of Europe need to find patrons and supporters.  Things got so bad in the American Academic landscape that I went into political exile in Central Europe and have been teaching there (at Warsaw University) since 1999.

I am an author of two books on Aristotle:
Aristotle's "Best Regime": Kingship, Democracy, and the Rule of Law  (LSU 2004)
Centrality of the Regime for Political Science (Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, 2016)

Below I present my current CV.

I have never been nor want to be on Twitter, as it is Jacobin crazy HQ.
