A short synopsis of this complex figure is difficult, but I'll give
it a shot. LaRouche believes that the thing which sets man apart from
the beasts is the power to create, as expressed by the creation of beauty
through great art and the continuing creation of the world through
the technologies which allow us to be economically productive and 
support an ever increasing population. He believes that the role of 
government should be to order society in such a way that each 
individual may realize his or her full creative potential - to become
in the words of Plato, a "golden soul". Economically, he is a 
Hamiltonian, believing in the use of centralized credit by sovereign 
nations to promote the development of infrastructural "great projects",
the development of manufacturing, nuclear-industrial complexes, etc.
He is a strong supporter of civil rights, in the pre-seventies sense,
but vigorously opposes the "counter culture". He is a strong supporter
of science and technology, and has called for the early colinization of 
Mars. His views on the philosophy of science follow the "continental"
school of Leibniz, Reimann, etc. and opposes Neton and the British
empiricists. He opposes euthanasia, the "right to die", abortion,
capital punishiment, Malthusianism, and the radical wing of 
environmentalism (i.e. anti-industrialism). 

How's that for starters,
