Facing Myself
Casey posted a response to my post yesterday to Facebook. I ripped out a rather long reply, but Facebook is having difficulties. So (sorry Casey), I’ll just move the conversation here. Casey responded to yesterday’s post with: Santos: I’ve been … Continue reading
Maniacal Laughter
I’ve always really liked the title to Davis’ work Breaking Up [at] Totality for its playfulness and visual pun (follow the link to see the cover). Of course, I also enjoy the Gorgian–Cixiousian sentiment of the book: laughing in the … Continue reading
Reflections: Rickert’s Acts of Enjoyment

Bit o’ Levinas
From “The Thinking of Being and the Question of the Other” in Of God Who Comes to Mind: We have asked whether the Other–who refuses identification, that is, thematization and hypostasis, but whom the philosophy of the tradition attempted to … Continue reading
Bit of Levinas
“A Dominican father, for whom I have much admiration and who knows Hebrew admirably, said one day before me: what one takes for an infinite interpretation of the letter of Scripture is simply a reading that considers the entirety of … Continue reading
New Media Rhetoric and Wikipedia
I thought I would share my conference proposal for International Society for the History of Rhetoric conference. I have a feeling its probably a bit too contemporary (ie, it mentions computers) for this conference, but there’s no harm in trying. … Continue reading
