It's the sort of field that the Scott Walkers of the world tend to want smallified; and of course, if philosophy and literature meant merely what they seem to mean most everywhere these days, the Scott Walkers of the world would be right. That's why the following piece was so refreshing.

It's a bit long, but the author has a way with words; and his point about the importance of loving what you teach is spot on.
