(9:34 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Friday Afternoon Confessional: GWF?!
I confess that I had to read the intro and conclusion to Hegel's Faith and Knowledge for class this week and that I found it to be thoroughly opaque. I confess that I was whiny about an assignment that was actually pretty minor. I confess that I contributed to the destruction of the planet by driving to school Wednesday morning rather than taking public transportation. I confess that I'm getting tired of Zizek.I confess that I don't want to read Hans Küng's On Being a Christian for 20th Century Theology next week, primarily because my copy of the book (purchased used off Amazon) is moldy. I confess that instead of purchasing my textbooks at the Co-op this year and supporting an independent bookseller on whom I have come to rely, I bought them all off Amazon because I had a free trial Amazon Prime membership. The library is also looking better and better for books that don't seem crucial to my personal library, particularly since there are seven or eight good theological libraries in the neighborhood I go to school in.
I confess that I have a lot of reading to do this weekend, and I want to do a proposal as well. I confess that I am now a member of both the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature.
I confess that The Weblog's traffic has grown slowly but steadily during my partial leave.
