The Generation of ‘X’

As I wrote in the 2002 preface, the papers in this book were done for coursework and independent research, all representing a struggle. The tensions in these papers, coming from uninspiring professors, as well as periods of doubt in my own ideas, make a backdrop, and the works themselves point to my ongoing interests in subjectivity, aesthetics, logic and language, with cheerful willingness to ask questions. The cover art itself, Notebook, is a reversed photograph of my own notes from a course on Kant.
