We're excited to announce this upcoming class by Dr. Tobias Endler: "Populism Past and Present: How it Works and How to Deal with it," starting Nov 22nd:
We will take a systematic look at populism in modern Western societies. How can populism be defined, what are its core features, how has it evolved over time and arrived at its present shape and form? Next, we analyze any populist's preferred strategies, and discuss effective counter-strategies.

From yesterday’s class on Nathaniel Hawthorne:
“It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object.”
Just added this short class on Wittgenstein, taught by Joseph Alfon (PhD Candidate, U Chicago).
