cool, i'm the princeton guy. i'd love to start a dialogue. thoughts on how to do so?

i'm actually on a woody-woo track for public policy with a minor in applied math; philosophy and history are my electives

i think lovejoy is excellent--i can see why you find it interesting to approach him as you do. for my own purposes, i've been trying to map lovejoy's history unto other major histories of western ontology--hence the hacking, and i recently finished auerbach's "mimesis", lowith's "meaning in history" and wolin's "vision and politics." i'm curious when a certain type of subject emerged in the world--one that saw their interior life in certain spatial terms, and how this interiorization of spatiality relates to the notion of "antinomeanism." in short, i'm most attracted to the history of "unreality" (e.g. the sensory world is a veil, is false, etc.) that lovejoy traces across the breakdown of traditional hierarchical political molds and finally ending in the advent of the celebration of diversity/pluralism in the modern era.

what do you study? what are you into? personally, i think UChicago is probably the best school in the US
