I have found reading machiavelli and scholarship on Machiavelli oddly instructive these past few years

One thing I never thought I would say as a young man is that being invited back to give a colloquium in a department that once employed you is surprisingly gratifying.

On Montesquieu and Spinozism
In 1725, Montesquieu started on a text, The Treatise on Duties, that was never published.
On Montesquieu and Spinozism -Eric Schliesser certainly knows his Spinoza. open.substack.com/pub/digressi.... Finding out that you are Spinozist without realising it.

Das Adam Smith Problem is a bit like the purported problem of making systematic Prince and Discourses, and (for the provocative thesis) springs from the same roots.

A screencap from Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan which shows Khan (played by Ricardo Montalban) wearing a blue and whiteish and dark scarf.
BTW, if anyone can ever find me a copy of the scarf that Khan wears, that blue around the neck that fades to oil and shadow, LET ME KNOW.

What Paul is describing is scandalous. But I am also weirdly cheered up by seeing pics of him since the accident. So much willpower, such determination to rebuild a meaningful life. Unchanged is his ridiculous articulacy and humour. His substack is very good too, subscribe!
