Teaching Day

Off to the City this morning -- thrilled not to see the torrential downpour the weather report has been predicting. Quite a buffet in critical theory today: Fontenelle on Europe's first modern culture war, Kant on the meaninglessness of historical evil, DuBois on how it feels to "be" a problem, and Wilde's paradoxical socialism. We'll see just how far I manage to get with all these weird and wonderful texts.
