Becoming a Doctor…

Posted on January 15, 2011 by

The Muses have only conferred two Doctorates, declared George Steiner at one time, Drs Johnson and Leavis… I certainly cannot hope that a belated Doctorate conferred (subject to minor conditions) around The Muse as Therapist http://www.karnacbooks.com/Product.asp?PID=25803 will fall into that … Continue reading →

Hegelian Philosophy of Intersubjectivity and the Shakespeare Authorship

Posted on May 23, 2010 by

With my philosophy group yesterday, we were wrestling with Hegel’s concept of reason; we considered how his radically modern conception of intersubjectivity, in the Lordship/Vassalhood chapter of the Phenomenology of Spirit, actually paradoxically derives from an understanding of Feudalism, something … Continue reading →

James Shapiro the Psychoanalyst analyses Freud the Psychoanalyst

Posted on March 27, 2010 by

There are repeated allusions to pathology and so forth, e.g., http://shakespeareoxfordsociety.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/dobson-and-mantel-say-shakespeare-deniers-need-shrink/ and now James Shapiro himself in a … Continue reading →

Shakespeare the Soap Opera Committee writer: James Shapiro’s ‘Contested Will’

Posted on March 26, 2010 by

James Shapiro has written a fascinating book, which I shall clearly have to get, but whose core theses are becoming clear already! http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/a017cbe4-384c-11df-8420-00144feabdc0.html And I think the Shapiro situation is a real opportunity for anyone who doubts the Stratfordian attribution. … Continue reading →

Shapiro’s Contested Will – Whalen’s review

Posted on March 19, 2010 by
