See the site home page for the current update.
This week, I’ve finished a very difficult (often tedious) path of work on conceptuality which I mentioned May 8 below. I now want to narratively path toward that abstract work (highland), by rendering senses of literary flourishing and comparative thinking (standardly called “interdisciplinary” studies, but I prefer interdomainal studies).
Meanwhile, all of my 11 “literary” excursions of mid-winter through April 3 have been grouped under the title “Literature21.”
May 8 | I’m pathing toward a conception of comparative thought, concepts, conceiving, and conceptuality which may be better than how those are standardly understood, especially relative to my ambitious sense of evolving conceptuality, which is backgrounded by the genealogical entirety of both websites. I’m clear about where I am, but I don’t yet have a brief version to share online. I expect to have that soon.
April 3 | “Literary ascension” and “the end of ‘Literature’?” continue my literary-conceptual project. I expect that all of the discussions listed from January 30 through today will soon be sections of one listed project on “Literature” as early 21st century notion.
March 23 | “What is ‘Literature’ better understood to be?,” “glyphicality as narrative,” and “engaging text made to speak” are a series (meant to be read in sequence) which continues my literary-conceptual project.
Mar. 20 | The death of Jürgen Habermas last weekend caused me to do some updating of my Facebook/Habermas page. Also, I spent too much time defend-
ing Habermas at a couple of Heidegger discussion pages, which seems to have been a waste of time. One venture became a blog posting: “response to ambivalent praise for Habermas.”
