Nate, Emily,
Welcome to the book CLUB. We're reading Bob Trivers, a bi-polar Anthropologist from Jamaica. He thinks we all lie to ourselves because that's how nature intended it. It's non-fiction.
I figure we can post stuff here if we have what to say about it.
Book Club adjourned.
Enjoy
So, do you guys think we should try some Levinas? Or keep on with the Trivers?
ReplyDelete"... despite its richness, once more like that of any great thinker, Levinas's work is dominated by one thought, ant it seeks to think one thing under an often bewildering variety of aspects... Derrida... compares the movement of Levinas' thinking to that of a wave on a beach, always the same wave returning and repeating its movement with deeper insistence...Levinas's one big thing is expressed in his thesis that ethics is understood as a relation of infinite responsibility to the other person."
That's Cambridge Companion to Levinas, 2002. Btdubs
