		<title>New CoTP site: redesign &amp; functionality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while in the making, but I&#8217;ve finally launched the new redesign for the Centre of Theology and Philosophy.  It&#8217;s now on Wordpress (instead of some weird hybrid of Movable Type like it was before), and I&#8217;ve added some new functionality here and there.  There&#8217;s a new post with details, and if you [...]]]></description>

My brother&#8217;s brother-in-law, Cory Williams, directed this video.  Cory is probably best known for his &#8220;Mean Kitty&#8221; video.

International Conference

The Oxford Centre for Theology and Modern European Thought, in connection with the Søren Kierkegaard Society of the UK, is pleased to announce an international conference focusing on Kierkegaard’s Upbuilding Discourses. While often overlooked, the Upbuilding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ribcage Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amongst many amazing releases, for my tastes two very important albums to recently come out of Records on Ribs are All the Empires of the World&#8217;s Last Rites and—just out today—Les Étoiles&#8217; To Leave a Mark. If you dig bands like Explosions in the Sky or God Speed You Black Emperor! then you&#8217;ll definitely like [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the prices of books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, after doing some clicking back and forth on my earlier post on all the paperback Kierkegaard books coming out (are now out now, by the way), I&#8217;ve noticed that in just about every case, all of the prices went up by a few dollars/pounds.  I suppose this isn&#8217;t much of a surprise as pre-order [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kierkegaard &amp; Pitying the Fool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I do Kierkegaard posts, I, like many people, do a Google image search to visually spice up the posts.  The recent post is a caricature of Kierkegaard from the Corsair, I believe.  This one is also classic.  But I think  this illustration, by John Peterson, from this book, probably takes the cake as one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kierkegaard and Deception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the heels of this discussion, I was reminded of this great passage from Kierkegaard&#8217;s The Point of View for my Work as an Author:
What, then, does it mean &#8220;to deceive&#8221;? It means that one does not begin directly with what one wishes to communicate but begins by taking the other&#8217;s delusion at face value. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Various Updates of Various Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not a whole lot happening around this blog, but a few things are happening in my life outside of academia.  The first is that Tiana and I are getting booted from our flat here in Nottingham, effective 18 August.  It&#8217;s nothing we did to cause this; apparently there are some tensions between our landlady and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kierkegaard, Levinas, and an Inwardness Higher Than Itself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One cannot (probably) have too much Kierkegaard on his birthday.  This is a great bit from Mary-Jane Rubenstein on Kierkegaard that wraps up all sorts of Kierkegaardian themes as they work themselves out in response to a critique by Levinas:

Emmanuel Levinas claims that the Kierkegaardian subject, as radically inward, is egocentric: &#8220;Kierkegaard very powerfully [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Kierkegaard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is May 5th, which amongst other holidays, also marks the 196th birthday of Søren Kierkegaard.  In light of this, I thought it would be appropriate to enjoy the following piece from The Moment entitled &#8220;The Official/the Personal.&#8221;  It is the seventh and final section to part 4 of Kierkegaard&#8217;s The Moment series, which was [...]]]></description>

I read an advanced copy of The City and The City by China Miéville and was quite impressed. This is a book that will generate a lot of talk in the coming months. The book reads like a fantasy but most assuredly is not. Miéville posits two fictional European cities [...]]]></description>

		<title>BBC2 Documentary: &#8220;Did Darwin Kill God?&#8221;</title>
