Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution – Rebecca Comay

Media_httpwwwsuporght_bfxae

I have just read the introduction to Professor Rebecca Comay’s book Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution. I should not have started another book, but the temptation was too great. Professor Comay did not disappoint, her introduction was a superb,even delicious intellectual confection. One can savor the thought of the feast to come, beautifully outlined and garnished by apt quotations and exploring the permutations of ironies, both historical and philosophical.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
