Sobre IBD

The important essays are ’An Irrational Ethic’ and ’Emotion and emotions’. ’The Nerve’ is a bit of a lark. ’An Imaginative Proposal’ is an intentionally naïve comparison of the European Community to a contemporary community. ’Why We Feel Diminished’ is a response to a remark by the politician Rory Stewart on one of his Ted Talks.

    We have a right to expect two things from a novel: life insofar as it is a creation and more life because it is the creation which has the special task of setting forth where ’no man or woman has dared to go’. It’s an enterprise into the unknown so that more may be known. Stories are examples of craftsmanship; by them we want to be entertained and moved. Novels involve a certai...

    Traumear
    He who beholds the natural world is bound to speak out and his speech is informed by what he beholds, it cannot be otherwise. Does he distinguish between the created world and the natural world?

  • The Cat Calls
    Traumear
    Without intelligence no one and nothing lives. Without intelligence rain falls but never lands, eggs are brooded but never hatch, god is named but never worshipped. And without intelligence we look in vain for grandeur, greatness and magnanimity. But even more important than intelligence is the humour of the divine heart. Here we move in the realm of reality as persons dedicate...

  • Looking for the Old Man
    Traumear
    There is a literature that thrives on faith. What it substitutes for make-believe is an invitation in the direction of true faith. Even imagination, throughout, is in the service of faith. There is no need, so far as I can see, to give a particular name to that literature. If we were to call it evangelical literature, we would be totally misunderstood. All the same, it is never...
