(2:16 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Why They Write Such Good Posts
à Gauche on interiority and related matters.
The Young Hegelian on Heidegger and Arendt.
Lars Iyer on freedom of speech.
If it wasn't official before, it is now: the blog format is thoroughly compatible with serious engagement with continental philosophy. I don't really want to revisit John Holbo's idea of "literary studies blogging," but it seems that the ever-growing circle of great philosophical blogs might help facilitate certain types of arguments and rhetorical approaches that have been neglected in the continental tradition. It is not entirely implausible that the blogosphere will one day give birth to a new Nietzsche, freed from the constraints of academic monographs and detailed commentaries on past philosophers and to the task of philosophy.
