I have taken to posting drafts on www.academia.edu, hearing that one gets prompt, and helpful reactions there. The postings include, “The Pygmies in the Cage” (reading Longinus On the Sublime as educational philosophy), ”After Smashing the Wedgwood” (on shifting attitudes toward the Classics), “What Happened after the Eclipse at Syracuse” (on Thucydides 7.50.4), and some probes in the Thinking Greek project (“The Wheeler Principle,” “Skin,” “When the Loin Cloth Dropped.”) Some of these pieces are already on my website www.wrobrtconnor.com/provocations; others will go up there in due course, but I want to invite friends to join the “sessions” on these drafts at the Academia.edu site. I appreciate frank criticisms and suggestions.
