PAGING DAVID HUME
 |
James Joyner | Sunday, July 27, 2003 |
Kieran Healy posts an extended review of The Elements of Mentality, a rather ambitious book by a fellow using the pseudonym “David Hume.” The book purports to Explain Everything but, according to Kieran, fails.
About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

Whew. My next book was going to explain everything. I'm just glad this guy didn't beat me to it.
And why do people have to blog heavy about esoteric academic stuff. Isn't that what boring conferences are for? And those insipid little visiting lectures we have to attend? I thought the blogosphere was for goofballs. Makes me think that serious academic bloggers can't cut it on the visiting academic or conference circuit.

...and James, I'm not referring to you above as you have a nice mix of serious and silly.
