Dialectrics.com is proud to host "Theory in a Time of War," a distillation of enormously wide-ranging and deep-plunging thought and the most comprehensively subversive essay currently available on the internet. It will eventually be the introduction to a book I'm writing, The Four Limits of Discourse, in which I will go to Dialectica with a team of builders. But "Theory in a Time of War" is quite capable of fending for itself.

It's a long essay (17,000 words, or about 27 pages in medium-sized text--your pulpage may vary). Please contact me if you're interested in reposting or reproducing it in whole or in part. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

I date the essay as "October 2006" because it was substantially finished then, although I've made and continue to make some minor subsequent revisions. Actually, about 95% of the content was written by July, 2006.

As for me, the Dialectrician, I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago...but, strangely enough, I'm living in my native San Francisco Bay Area. Does that make sense? Of course not. An avid smart-ass, I'm a former member of the KPFA Local Station Board and very hairy guy.
