The Miscellany is a Kind of Book

The latter, called Substantific Marrow, contains the following items, among others:

Ressentiment and Schooling / Could Nietzsche have Married Jane Austen? / Van Gogh as Chump / Gautier's Hippo / Oafs and Wimps / Aristotle and Mollusc Sex / Kenneth Burke Faked it Too / What Was Cratylus Trying to Say? / Parmenides in Szechuan / On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the Philosophers / Hemoglobin and Alchemy / Fish Milk / The Authenticity and Feng Shui of Bob Dylan / Satie and the Sewing Machine / W. C. Fields and the American Family Comedy / Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss / Agamben and Schmitt / Werewolves and the State / Orwell and Pacifism / Philosophers and Nuclear War / Transience and Water

They have been extracted and redacted from his website. Another book, this one of polemics, will appear in due course.

I post this in part because CT readers are the ideal audience; in part because Éditions le Real (part of Lulu) seems like a good example of the dispersal of authority for cultural production, per Yochai Benkler; and in part, finally, as a shameless effort to get for myself free copies of the books.
