(6:40 PM) | Adam Kotsko:

I say this grudgingly

but Milbank's 9/11 essay is orders of magnitude better than Zizek's.

Zizek's is in turn orders of magnitude better than anything I have read in the popular press, outside of the many essays of Lewis Lapham, Baudrillard's piece, and Don DeLillo's piece, all in Harper's.

UPDATE: Read Adrian's critique of Milbank's essay over at The Young Hegelian.

UPDATE: And while you're at it, read F. Winston Codpiece III's account of his experience as a very young Hegelian.
