But it has slumbered virtually unknown ever since the mid-1950s, and this excellent new translation will introduce many to a Kierkegaard they never knew existed. To get the best from it, we need to know a little more about Two Ages (1846). What Kierkegaard’s little work purported to be was a ...”

I never cease to feel that I must step very lightly on top of that volcano. The contrast between the intensely private Virginia and the more open, less fragmented Ethel was always a theme of their relationship. In ...”

A letter sent in 1874 to Whitman by Edward Carpenter, then an unknown young poet, is a representative example; Whitman brought it up in a conversation with Traubel 14 years later, in 1888. ‘I seem to be very close to his heart and he to mine in that letter,’ Whitman remarks. ‘It has a place in our personal history ...”

The lower courts, too, are standing up against this president with a fair degree of independence, especially in cases related to immigration. Yet in two respects, the authoritarian danger does resemble that of the ...”

The broader difficulty with Constant’s conception of representation is that it invites people to get involved in politics while also inviting them to hold something back. Vigilance requires a certain ...”

For some unknown reason, the most popular name in almost every region was Dennis i.e. Dionysius – ‘Of Dionysus’.
