  Personal Information: William Bruce

      At first, I suppose the only point of interest regarding myself that would seem to merit address is the question, "Why do you do this?" I provide only one answer:

          I am dumb enough, and naïve enough, to think such a project is worthwhile.

      I hope that is good enough, because that is all you are going to get. However, in case there are some poor souls interested in other matters regarding me...
Studies

  Areas of Study and Interest



  My areas of interest in regard to reading include, but are not limited to:

  • Philosophy (in the extensive sense of the word)
  • Theology and Comparative Religion
  • History, Archaeology, and Anthropology
  • English and European Literature
  • Economics and Political Economy
  • Psychology and Sociology
  • Linguistics

  •     ... In other words, just about any "social science" -- although I detest that phrase ...

  • Western (European) Music
  • Aesthetics and Art Theory
  • Art Criticism (in the most general of senses)

  •       I am also quite interested in the "hard" sciences, but unfortunately have less of a grasp on fundamental concepts in those fields, save perhaps physics.


          Thus the summary of my status as scholar, I suppose, must be that I am a quasi-ambitious pseduo-intellectual with a proclivity for meta-textual humor and pretentious prefixes. Derrida, Foucault, and Rorty would be proud. That must mean I am a paper-pusher and budding bureaucrat! -- hence the project.

      Contacting Me

    Letter

          Those with proposals, questions, comments, suggestions, or any other correspondence for the project are welcome to contact me by various means of communication. If one means is not to be preferred over another, I would encourage the use of email, for obviously pragmatic reasons. Nevertheless, I am happy to receive correspondence or communication in any way. (Did you miss the comment about me massaging my ego?)
