Philosophy Under the Proscenium Arch?
We realize that not many of our readers will get as big a kick out of this as we do, but we couldn't resist mentioning the little blurb in today's Arts & Leisure section about playwright, Kate Fodor. Fodor's play, "Hannah and Martin" dramtizes the tempestuous affair between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. Not only is it funny to us that someone wrote a play about two philosophers, but Fodor herself is the daughter of one of the most famous living philosophers, Jerry Fodor (look, "fame" is relative), and psycholinguist, Janet Dean Fodor, both of whose publications are piled up all over greenideas HQ. Seeing Jerry's name in the Arts section of the Times is pretty funny, but seeing it on the page opposite a blurb about A.C. Slater's sassy paramour and notioriously nude "showgirl," Elizabeth Berkeley, is just priceless.
Okay, that's it for the vanity posts for a while. We promise.
