An Original Thinker of Our Time : Hirschman:

“Part of what made Hirschman distinctive, even unique, was his ability to develop large themes from sharp observations of particular practices, and thus to connect apparently unrelated social phenomena”.

George Steiner on:

How To Reform The Humanities?

- “How to read? We are learning to read together. No secondary text please. No criticism. No comments on comments on comments. Complete loss of truth.”

- “We learn by heart, par coeur, by heart, not by brain”.

For the scientists and artists amongst us: “Between Eye and Eye Stretches an Interminable Landscape”: The Challenge of Philosophical Hermeneutics

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:25:00 -0500

For the scientists and artists amongst us: “Between Eye and Eye Stretches an Interminable Landscape”: The Challenge of Philosophical Hermeneutics :

This week I’m visiting the University of Georgia in Athens, Qualitative Research Program (see: this link)

Amongst others, I’m meeting dr Melissa Freeman, associate professor, who is interested in philosophical hermeneutics. Yesterday, during a walk in the botanical gardens of Athens, we had a conversation on a wide range of subjects. Afterwards, Melissa sent me this paper. Let me know when you can’t access it online so I can forward it to you. To me, it pulls abstract theory into the personal realm.

Enjoy!

theparisreview:

“Virginia Woolf, in her diaries, once said that she didn’t know how anyone could read without a pencil in his hands; Anna Maria Johnson doesn’t just use a pencil, she uses lines, paint, a self-created concordance and icons to mark the patterns when she is reading.”

Anna Maria Johnson’s annotations on the pages of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, from Numéro Cinq magazine (via Invisible Stories).
