Review: January 2005 A Dialectic without Dreams Merleau-Ponty is generally read for his work in phenomenology, not his work on dialectics. This is both a pity and a mistake. While he certainly does deserve to be remembered as the third great phenomenologist of the past century, after Husserl & Heidegger, his being forgotten as a dialectical thinker is almost inexplicable. I say almost inexplicable because, I fear, the reason he is ignored as a dialectical thinker is because he advocated, and superbly demonstrated, a dialectic without myths, utopia or dreams. In the great chapter (2) on Lukacs he says, "[t]he dialectic is this continued intuition, a consistent reading of actual history, the re-establishment of the tormented relations, of the interminable exchanges, between subject and object. There is only one knowledge, which is the knowledge of our world in a state of becoming, and this becoming embraces knowledge itself." He speaks of interminable exchanges, implies the permanence of tormented relations, affirms that knowledge always becomes. This is a dialectic scraped clean of the utopianism of the Marxist classless society, contemptuous of some miraculous Kojevean 'End of History', sans any vain 'Hegelian' promise of some never-never land in which Science will precisely equal Wisdom. So then why dialectic, or, more precisely, why use the dialectical method if it offers no goal? Immediately after the sentences quoted above M-P says, "[b]ut it is knowledge that teaches us this." The dialectic, as M-P understands it, gives us, better - can give us, an understanding of history, and our present, but as to the future it promises exactly nothing. How could it promise more? If becoming, and the unknown, press on us forever, every totalization is always in danger of being threatened by some unanticipated contingency that changes this totalization into some unpredicted, and above all, unpredictable (until it occurs) Other. By way of contrast let me now mention that for Hegel, finally, one could say that Dialectic remained a retrospective method and not a predictive science - at least until the precise end of the dialectical process. "The Owl of Minerva takes flight only at night." But, for Hegel, I think it is correct to say that when Subject and Object become One, Forever, we will be able to say that the all-knowing owl is always flying because the Absolute (Spirit) is always dark. We now perhaps better understand the content of the Hegelian characterization of (and objection to) the early position of Schelling - as a 'night in which all cows are black' - this position wasn't wrong; it was merely premature. Thus at the extreme end of Hegelian theory, one is always in danger of seeing it toppling over into the Kojevean 'End of History' position, which M-P in the epilogue characterizes as an idealization of death. M-P holds, in this book, that this is not the position of Marx and Lukacs. "In Marx spirit becomes a thing, while things become saturated with spirit. History's course is a becoming of meanings transformed into forces or institutions. This is why there is an inertia of history in Marx and also an appeal to human invention in order to complete the dialectic. Marx cannot therefore transfer to, and lay to the account of, matter the same rationality which Hegel ascribes to spirit." Hegel is pleased to be taken to mean that Spirit is an active helpful partner of humanity in dialectic; a materialist dialectic can make no such claims of matter. What Merleau-Ponty, btw, is here denying, for those who have ears, is that there can be an end to any genuine material dialectic. ...Matter itself is permanently, in every human sense, an irrational factor. In other words, being and reason can never be one. Whatever Rationality in things we find - we find it there because we put it there. "Marxism cannot hide the Welt-geist in matter." Dialectic in which a dialectical partner is permanently non-rational becomes a science of circumstances. Thus M-P maintains that for Lukacs (and, I think, himself) that only revolutionary creativity can `guarantee' "a coherent and homogenous system." ...But no system is permanent. "A dialectical conception demands only that, between capitalism, where it exists, and its antecedents, be one of an integrated society to a less integrated one." By more integrated M-P means a more `socialized' society, societies in which, since there is more common ground, "destinies can be compared." It is ultimately here in social interaction that, for M-P, dialectical knowledge arises. But, as indicated earlier, nothing is guaranteed. "The principle of the logic of history is not that all problems posed are solved in advance, that the solution precedes the problem, or that there would be no question if the answer did not pre-exist somewhere, as if history were built on exact ideas. One should rather formulate it negatively: there is no event which does not bring further precision to the permanent problem of knowing what man and his society are..." One is here tempted to say that M-P here answers two of the questions we asked at the beginning of the review. Why resort to the method of dialectic? - It brings (or exposes a) further precision to our knowledge of the problem of man. Why no certain Telos, no end to history, no grand finale that finds Science and Wisdom in permanent embrace? - The "problem of knowing what man and his society are" is permanent. For M-P the problems of society reside only in human history; neither spirit nor matter will save us. "The sense of history is then threatened at every step with going astray and constantly needs to be reinterpreted." "There is less a sense of history than an elimination of non-sense." Oh, and this indeed would be the 'reason' M-P, the dialectical thought of M-P, was forgotten. A dialectic, shorn of fairy tale, certainty or reward, would attract none of our scholarly saints, or even our Leninist `realists.' Over the last two centuries there have been only three reasons, often entwined, to turn to dialectic; the pursuit of Knowledge, the pursuit of utopia/revolution, or the pursuit of some always obscure inner `intuition' or joy. ...Apparently, given the way M-P is ignored by Hegelian and Marxist dialecticians, the only pursuit that was decisive was the last. This has only been a brief commentary on a small slice, a handful of pages, of this superb book, that, I hope, will make others interested enough to read it. The discussions of Weber, Lukacs, Trotsky and Sartre are all excellent. M-P is a political philosopher who deserves to be read along with the great and important political philosophers of the 20th century: Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Hannah Arendt, Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss. Ignore any of them and increase your ignorance.

"Devastatingly" disappointing. I think the author might be fishing for the bad press for this book, hoping someone might give it the hilarious awful review to make it irresistible to at least some readers.

This was definitely my favourite out of the Strega-Borgia books. To cut a long story short, the roof of old the ancestral home begins to leak, forcing the Strega-Borgias to move out into a hotel in the nearby village of Auchenlochtermuchty (I think that's how you spell it) at great expense, while the roof gets repaired by a rather dodgy building company. Meanwhile, Titus and Pandora try to create their own clones. Absolute mayhem ensues, and quite a few people get eaten. My favourite scene in the book absolutely has to be when Ffup realises something very important...

** spoiler alert ** This series by Meg Cabot surprised me. I had seen the movies and really loved them. The second one (A royal engagement) in particular was one of my favorite movies because Lord Nicholas (Chris Pine) is gorgeous! Anyway, the thing that really surprised me about the books is that the story line is very different from the movies. Mia doesn't break up with Michael and move to Genovia, fight a law about the queen being married, and fall in love with Nicholas. In the books there is no Nicholas, and she will never be queen because instead of a monarchy Genovia is a principality. This means that even when she takes the throne she will still technically be a princess. In the books they actually refer to the movies as totally ridiculous movies based on what tabloids and producers have dreamed her life might be, or become. In fact, the rest of the series is about her ups and downs in high school life, and her trying to hold onto Michael, her one true love, all the while dealing with her father and grandmother's constant demands and expectations. Another striking difference is that in the movies Mia's grandmother is very kind and understanding, and has a good sense of humor, where as in the books, she smokes two packs a day, is almost always drunk or on her way there, and is rude, and at times cruel to Mia. Over all I really loved this series. I wish I would have written the review a while ago because it’s been a month or so, and I’ve read a lot of books since then and the great details are slipping. The series is touching, and often right on point of how a girl Mia's age feels with the ups and downs of love, friendship, grades, and, also being a princess to boot. There is a lot of repetitiveness in the books, reiterating how much she loves Michael, how she wishes she could gain a few cup sizes, and how she constantly feels like a loser in comparison to those around her. Although this can get old at times, I think it rings true to the fact that teenage girls who are in love, and or, self conscious tend to dwell on things, and over obsess. Through all the repetition in Mia's diary, I still doubt she mentions her feelings of inadequacy, or love, half as much as the average teenage girl thinks about her own. One of my very favorite parts of the entire series is in book six: “Princess in Training” when Mia is forced to run for student president against her arch nemesis Lana Weinberger. She is petrified but she is also mad and fed up with the system of popularity = power in her high school. She gives what I think is one of the best speeches for this situation. I got chills. It’s like everything you always wanted to hear said about the imaginary hierarchy of high school. I was truly awesome. When I read that part I was sorry I wasn’t back in school to give a speech like that. But since I’m not, I would definitely have my future daughter read it if she ever thought about going into student government. To sum it up, read the series if you love getting inside someone's head and seeing how they feel and what makes them tick. Cabot captures perfectly, the roller coaster of elation and heartbreak that it is to be a teenage girl... destined to rule a small nation one day. Read it! Till Next Time... ~Lindsay~

This tells the stories of two women involved with the Elgin Marbles, originally part of the Parthenon in Athens but currently on display at the British Museum. One story is about Mary Nisbet, the wife of Lord Elgin, who was ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during Napoleon's time, and obtained permission from the Turkish government to remove the carvings from Greece. The second one is about Aspasia, the companion of Pericles, the leader of Athens during the fifth century BC, who got the Parthenon and other structures built on the Acropolis. Both of the women were independent-minded and suffered as a result, both being brought to trial for different charges, but really for not behaving as proper women should. Mary's tribulations as she works to get the statues sent to England, and then to get her husband out of Napoleon's clutches were quite harrowing. And her reward for her efforts was to be sued for divorce. This was a very interesting book, and made me want to learn more about Aspasia in particular.

Blake Crouch has done it again!!! WOW!!!! This book was absolutely great and will take you on quite an amazing ride. Run is the perfect title for this book. It is a fast paced, gripping, intense, never a dull moment thriller. It kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. There are twists and turns you don't really expect. There were moments I was holding my breath, afraid of what was going to happen next during some of the chase scenes. I really connected with the characters and could feel their fear and frustration throughout the entire book. This book is about the ColClough family who are the “unaffected” ones the story is based around. They hear their names announced over the radio with directions to their house and now are running for their lives. Something is changing people into violent murderers. They don't care who they kill or how they kill them. They are relentless in their pursuit. Just when Jack and his family think they've made it to safety and you've relaxed just a bit while reading, here they come again and the action starts all over. Entire towns are ravaged and all citizens that can't escape are lined up and killed. Jack and his family are trying to get to Canada to a safe location they were told about. But the journey there is unbelievable. The descriptions of the countrysides as they were traveling were so vivid and real you could picture it in your mind. I can't say enough about this book. Well I could say a lot more but absolutely will not give spoilers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good chase. Anyone who loves a good thriller that will take your breath away. I absolutely could not put this book down. I made the mistake of starting it late in the evening and needless to say, got very little sleep that night. I had to finish it.
