Finished Reading (2023): The Ethics of Authenticity by Charles Taylor 📚

This year’s first reread. A lot of talk about certain freedoms has tended only “to thicken the darkness around the moral ideal of authenticity.” Taylor would rightly like to see it, uh… unthickened. Since I don’t know that it’s any less thick than it was 30 years ago, the need remains the same. A few thoughts here.

Finished Reading Road-side Dog by Czesław Miłosz 📚

Quirky and often funny poetic prose from one of the greats. A perfect little book to have laying around the house.
