9/01/2003 04:43:00 PM | Timothy Deanster and the Clark Sphere Check out the Dean campaign's version of friendster, DeanLink. This link is from The Clark Sphere, which has a great post here: If Dean is connecting to the desire for a political eros - an unreasoning attachment to the object - Clark represents agape - the spiritual and intellectual love.Hmmm... as a Columbia grad student in political theory, I tend to want my political involvement in the real world to be exciting (because God knows T.M. Scanlon and Nagel are not). But some of my buddies in international relations are really hoping Clark will enter the race, thinking he is willing to use force but also understands the importance of multilateralism and coalition building. They do, however, also like Dean. Can such intellectual love of a candidate beat Dean's cash and cult-like status? I never thought this could be the discussion around Dean. P.S. Even offensive realists like John Mearsheimer at the University of Chicago think Bush's foreign policy actions in Iraq are born of delusional thinking. More on this and other fun things from the American Political Science Association later. Also, does anyone know if Dartmouth has a Clark representative, and what students, if anyone, are in charge of the other campaigns at Dartmouth? perma link |
