Last week a reader asked me whether Plato’s Republic was totalitarian. The short answer is that “totalitarian” is anachronistic, but The Republic is certainly authoritarian. The long answer is on my Patreon. https://t.co/Qiu7uVtoRS

There are a few pages on Leibniz in my new Spinoza biography. Honesty wasn’t his strongest suit. He once claimed never to have read Spinoza’s Tractatus but in the 20th century scholars found his heavily annotated personal copy. https://t.co/a898z8aByR

Absence and Nothing: The Philosophy of What There Is Not

Stephen Mumford
ft (((hellenized)))ft (((hellenized)))

Absence and Nothing gives an admirable survey of nothing and its attendant problems ... The writing is clear and effective, even in addressing the most complex difficulties but not shy about eschewing a full explanation when an adequate one will suffice.

Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality

Freud
ft (((hellenized)))ft (((hellenized)))

There is a huge body of 20th C literature on the incest taboo. Psychoanalysis, anthropology, and structuralism were all obsessed with it. It starts roughly with Freud’s Three Essays on The Theory of Sexuality and culminates in D&G’s Anti-Oedipus. Malinowski is another big name. https://t.co/y6Py4Osas6

This is so funny bc the same thing happened to me. In high school I used to carry my copy of Naked Lunch everywhere and I was so offended when they gave me The Portrait of a Lady. A few years later I write an MA thesis on Henry James 🤪 https://t.co/iBdLNvouYp
