Dear Readers,
The name of this
blog is not a subtle reference to its writer's intellectual exertion. It is instead an allusion to the bronze,
life-size casting by the French sculptor, Auguste Rodin, of a pensive, nude
male, which is often used to symbolise philosophy. In this Politics blog, I neither intend an
indorsement of bodily exposure or Rodin's queer imagination. What I wish for my writing to take from this
sculpture is merely metaphorical:
To be
thought-provoking- putting forward rigourous analysis on a range of key
political issues;
To be
experimental- drawing together knowledge from history, philosophy, and the
social sciences to enrich ideas on politics;
To celebrate
independent thinkers- being guided by no allegiances to particular ideologies.
As an essential
footnote, I would like to thank my readers for baring with the metaphors and
can assure them that the politicians' vagueness will end here and be replaced
with greater clarity.
