I do not believe in the absolute determinism of history. On the contrary, I believe that all life, and consequently, the life of hstory, is made up of simple moments, each of them relatively undetermined in respect of the previous one, so that in it reality hesitates, walks up and down, and is uncertain whether to decide for one or other of various possibilities. it is this metaphysical hesitancy which gives to everything living its unmistakable character of tremulous vibration."The Revolt of the Masses" Jose Ortega y Gasset
this is my life. The life of a political theory student labouring under the force of contemporary ideas of what public life means. It is intellectual acrobatics and it is labour, but the consolation is that these ideas are rejuvenating even at this time when i'm re-reading them and trying to fit them into a coherent paper. The greatest gift of work to me, is to be continually inspired by what i'm learning and processing.
