I had the pleasure of helping bring the O'Brien/New Theatre archive to Maynooth - international socialism, the Spanish Civil War, artistic spats and more: there's a great doctoral project on it for someone seeking to apply to IRC/Hume at Maynooth

@jocularfowl ... if Intellect

Our lives could be a myth of captivity
Which we might enter: an unpeopled region
Of ever new-fallen snow, a palace blazing
With perpetual silence as with torches. GH
(something dangerous, too?)

James’ critique here is the flipside of his famous argument in The Will to Believe - unfounded beliefs are defensible because we can only pursue the truth via “living hypotheses”.
Ideas that try to *contain* contraction & paradox, relegating them to the edges, halt that pursuit.

After outlining the problems with all available solutions to the mind-brain problem, James suddenly attacks both Hegelian dialectics and Herbert Spencer’s agnostic scientism as “spiritual chlorophorm”.

Cannot wait to read this. Karl is a very thoughtful critic and this will be an excellent book. Irish studies will greatly benefit from it.

AI is costly to the planet & a product of what Coleridge called 'fancy' "always the ape, and too often the adulterator and counterfeiter of our memory", which is parasitic and creates nothing, unlike the Imagination

@BranPoetry @SCA_MULibrary It’s great that grandad’s archive is in Maynooth where researchers are actively engaging with his extraordinary life, and those of other brave Irish anti-fascists in the 1930s and beyond.
