Comment: Re: SHK 18.0103 A Question
I seem to have started quite a thread with my innocent question, "What
is 'presentism'?" I'm even tempted to wade in myself, but I tremble at
trying to hold my own amongst such thought-provoking, albeit sometimes
completely mystifying, commentaries.
I am glad that I rejoined SHAKSER.

Subject: 18.0103 A Question
Comment: RE: SHK 18.0103 A Question
In the midst of his latest post, John Drakakis mentions "the
sophisticated transformations of late capitalism." Ever since
encountering the phrase in Frederic Jameson's work, I've wondered about
it. How, at this (or that) point in time, can one know that we're in
the phase of "late capitalism." Might we not be in the middle? It
struck me then, as it still does, as a kind of nostalgia for a time that
has not yet come, when capitalism has vanished (or itself been
transformed) from the workings of the world.

Maybe Joseph Egert could consult the classics?:
'Facts stand wholly outside our gates; they are what they are, and no
more; they know nothing about themselves, and they pass no judgement
upon themselves. What is it, then, that pronounces the judgement? Our
own guide and ruler, Reason.'
(Marcus Aurelius, 'Meditations')

Comment: Re: SHK 18.0095 A Question
Response to the Roundtable discussion has not taken off as I expected or
perhaps hoped that it would. Maybe I got it wrong. Maybe discussions in
the medium of e-mail depend upon relatively immediate exchanges and are
not appropriate to the delayed gratification of weekly digests.
Anyway, since this thread involves Presentism, might some of the
participants here, as one has already this week, consider submitting
future remarks to the Roundtable discussion?
