Steadily this intellectual free-for-all, quintuplet movements emerged; from description precision-bombing brains of Analytical Philosophy monitor the oblivious, existential mist of Transcontinental Philosophy, say publicly streetwise simplicity of description American thinkers, the unilluminated, introspective alleys of Existentialism and interpretation bewildering, selfexamining labyrinths break into Phenomenology—each primary dramatically swollen the prior ideologies, fierce through picture serene setting of stock thought run off with the fineness of a chainsaw.

The Mindless Philosopher

I was listening to the radio awhile ago.

That admission immediately tells how old I am.

I know that these days when someone says that they were “listening to the radio” that they were probably listening to music on the internet. It’s kind of like how some people say that they listen to “albums”.

I still say album.

I still listen to cassettes.

And I was listening to an actual radio.

The old hi-fi.

 

 

I know that the current technology is supposed to be all that, but there’s at least one good thing about being an old fuddy duddy still hooked on listening to 20th century technology. Namely, listening to a radio allows one to channel surf.

And while channel surfing, one occasionally tunes into something interesting.

And by “interesting” I mean something that allows a person to write about philosophical stuff.

I was listening to a radio show called “The Pocho Hour of Power”. It airs locally in Los Angeles. On Fridays at 4 P.M. On KPFK. An affiliate of the Pacifica Network.

Clothbound Classics: how a Victorian-inspired books experiment broke the internet

In a sun-baked attic studio in South London, Coralie Bickford-Smith is leafing through pieces of A4 paper, splattered with black. They’re folded in the middle, making spidery splodges in a funhouse mirror. “That was a stick, with a little bit of string on it, dipped in ink,” Bickford-Smith, small and a little shy beneath glasses and dark curls, explains. “I just sort of made a mess; I like it when I can have fun and I can get away from the computer.”

It is here, across this neat desk, that the most sought-after hardbacks in modern publishing come to life.

Bickford-Smith is a senior designer at Penguin Press and author of a number of illustrated books including The Fox and the Star. For nearly 15 years, she has conjured up the distinctive concept and covers of the company’s Clothbound Classics. The books have become a phenomenon few in publishing could have imagined. The now-iconic series has sold 6 million copies globally, in 110 different countries, gracing everywhere from the personal desk of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, to the coveted flatlays of Instagram and TikTok. And now, something new is on the way: Little Clothbound Classics.

For some readers, it’s been a long time com
