Laying the foundations so I can read some other books in dialogue with this one. But a pretty great mic drop:
Briefly, my aim is to examine the case of a society which has been loudly castigating itself for its hypocrisy for more than a century, which speaks verbosely of its own silence, takes great pains to relate in detail the things it does not say, denounces the powers it exercises, and promises to liberate itself from the very laws that have made it function.
So far, the way he wants to rethink what’s “obvious” and examine who gets the power if we do think that way is very much my thing.
