After the quacking of the last session this was a delight. Alexandra Paulin-Booth a PhD candidate at Oxford talking about the neglect of time in academic history. Just a lovely idea and really well illustrated. OK her presentation was driven by an obvious liking for anarchists but it was a refreshing presentation. I […]
This session was a presentation by Rowland Smith and as the notes indicate he is interesting in dealing with questions of what we cannot know. He admits to a work in progress and to a starting point in Freud which to be honest I think provides a lot more problems than it solves as its […]
My first panel session and we have some interesting people. Simon Glendenning is a thoughtful Philosopher and I have booked other sessions with him. Philip Blond I enjoyed last year in part because I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says even though I don’t want to. The third player is Linda […]
