For those seeking a bit of glamor, there is the possibility of spelling one's name with L-with-stroke (borrowed from Polish), and a corresponding change in pronunciation?

You will leave it be, yes?

Man Is Denied A Loan

God’s Presence in History Departments

Time to republish this book in a second edition that contains the line “My slutty pajamas not temptin' him in the least”????

Very little deciphering skills on my part! On the hunch that the owner might have cited the volume in a publication, I googled “‘patrum apostolicorum’ ‘a. a.’”

I think it’s A. A. Hobson, who seems to have written a dissertation at Chicago in 1904 on the synoptic problem.

“Might improvement also be possible?,” he asked as he began work on _Critique of Tom Clancy’s Judgment_.

Tom Clancy’s Religion of Reason out of the Sources of Judaism.

(OTOH, I heartily look forward to Tom Clancy’s Star of Redemption.)

There is nothing outside the score to keep it — Derrida

Somewhere in my brain is a short short story about Schl, maker of eggs.

Perhaps. But he *is* only an assistant.

"managing editor for trust"??!!??!!

I'd associate Mendelssohn with The Ramones and Cohen with Hüsker Dü, but I respect this list immensely.

My colleagues and I received an email reminder today about our institution's "resilience tools." There were no emoji in that email, though.

Frankie Goes To Rancho Cucamonga

Were you wearing dungarees in a dungeon when this happened?

Please continue these jokes; otherwise, I will sing to myself "Adam, I'm empty since you left me / Trying to find a way to carry on."

Can I now start referring to helicopters as pterohelices?

Sometimes, when a boy and a synthesizer love each other very much…

Thanks for sharing. (I was not expecting the Hegel reference in this essay!)

Someone has read five books while
snuggling by both Alice Walker *and* Marilynn Robinson!

I also noted that Joseph Bottum is this fall’s visiting scholar. It’s a possibly gutsy choice. The story of his leaving _First Things_ is still largely untold; I had the (fallible!) sense at that time that the Board of Directors wished to sweep things under the rug.

Sure. But the well-paidness is not necessarily as obscene as your original post made it seem — some humanists at publics make over 185k — although I believe this salary range to be somewhat obscene within this institution’s ecosystem.

I think you sell yourself short! But to the best of my knowledge, it is the case that this salary range is quite out of proportion to what CU Boulder pays full professors in the humanities, and even in the social sciences.

What is the antecedent of “it”?

Nicolas de Warren’s book on WWI for the first pair? Nothing on the second as far as I know. My essay on phenomenology in the _Camb Hist_ volume may be helpful for either pairing (since I see Cohen as unlike Scheler, for reasons implicit there). Or it may not be of any help at all, and that is okay!!

DN is not making the structural point about apophaticism that ERW is. But there’s no reason why they can’t be read as being on the same page.

Not all mysticism is apophatic in the way that the Bilderverbot suggests it should be, no? (And even Pseudo-D is not so apophatic at the end of the day, if I recall David Newheiser’s book correctly.)
