my review of Critique of Critique by Roy Ben-Shai--- "Critique of Critique of Critique": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/9âŚ
Lots of great academic books out there. This is rarer: a necessary one.
It shows how the humanities can be positive, productive, and joyful â not just critical and suspicious.
If weâre going to make the field attractive again, itâll be through books like this. A

another new thunderbolt @OLSilverman: the idea of Utopia was born in the imagination of Thomas More as a counter-insurgent concept, an attempt to smooth over the tremors of popular revolt and early stirrings of communism..read about the Tale of Two Thomases (More & MĂźntzer) here!
