Welcome to The Redneck Intellectual! I teach political philosophy at Clemson University, I am the Executive Director of the Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism, and I am the founder of the Lyceum Scholars Program at Clemson. I received a Ph.D. from Brown University, and I have been a visiting scholar at Princeton and Harvard universities as well as the University of London.
I feel an affinity with your “esprit,” as they say in French for “mind.” I wake up every morning at 6am to read the poems of Victor Hugo in French until noon. His volume Leaves of Autumn is especially edifying in our morally uneducated and morally unconceptual culture, which is blind to anti-values and anti-norms. Thank you for rescuing and teaching what I love (i.e., the human capacity for normative abstraction) in politics. As for myself, I’m 30 years old and live two blocks away from the Cato Institute.
Those look like Red Wing Cowboy style boots... cool, I have 2 pairs & also, if you are aware of the Rock & Roll , "Little Old Band from Texas", ZZ TOP (one of my all time favorites... and many other quasi-"rednecks"...) , their singer/Guitar showman, front-man Billy F. Gibbons has used them for his stage clothes many times... Dig It!... all the best...rsj
