Reading Rat - January 2013

On authors and works in my recommended reading:

"If we redefine the nature of human existence—personal, social, political—as organized around the needs and dictates of the “expressive” or (my term of choice) 'erotic' self, this is the constitutional order that follows. Behind the beckoning right to privacy lurks a revolutionary worldview." --Gerard V. Bradley, The Constitution and the Erotic Self, First Things, October 1991

To What Extent was Keynes 'General Theory' Revolutionary and to What Extent was It Based on Past Theories?, by Aaron Einbond, The Concord Review, Summer 1994 [pdf]

The Year 1949 in Historical Perspective: The Trends of Culture, by Isaiah Berlin, contribution to the Britannica Book of the Year 1950 [pdf]

Articles, Essays, Reviews

Against Great Books: Questioning Our Approach to the Western Canon, by Patrick J. Deneen, First Things
