Anti-Climacus

LINK: Joseph Bottom has an interesting article on death and political theory. I'm not sure the argument entirely works (I'll have to read it again), and I do have a slight skepticism about basing politics on metaphysics (which is to say, I don't have a problem basing my own politics on my own metaphysics, but I do share the early modern worry about basing 'politics' on 'metaphysics:' there's still a lot of work to be done before that description's complete), but it's certainly interesting and worth a read.
