Anti-Climacus

BUSY, BUSY: I've been writing (heavily) this week, and hence had little time for blogging; the run-up to my class is almost here, and that will take more of my time. Writing has its own pleasures, especially when I can step out of the smaller debates I try to insert myself into here ('why does everyone believe sovereignty and intervention are incompatible?'), think in larger, longer terms about historical narratives and analogies, and the way in which those come to dominate our thinking whether we recognize it or not (we generally don't, even when it's pointed out to us). It's been a pleasant distraction, and a nice way of avoiding the heat. I'll return, as ever, when something piques my interest.
