      That's a ridiculously narrow way to look at this since Pound has always had a reputation & fan base outside the academy. Pace Alice, he's never been merely read as literature. And indeed the best book on Pound (Kenner's Pound Era) emphasizes his social vision.

      Maybe. I haven't read the piece but I (maybe obviously) don't have any problem with people reading e.g. Marx and Crenshaw in college.

      But anyway Kant is taught for Kantianism and not his views on race, Heidegger is taught for his phenomenology or whatever, Pound is taught for his poetry, and Schmitt is taught as a critic of liberalism.

      Whether Kantianism can be divorced from his view of race is an open question, Heiddegger's philosophy & Pound's poetry include their politics, and Schmitt was a critic of liberalism from point of view of far right.

      This is completely moronic. Every day students learn about Kantianism without Kant's views on race filtering in. I taught deontology the other day and race didn't even factor in. Not because I'm being intellectually negligent but because it isn't conceptually intertwined.

      I'm sure the argument is that his racist views are subtly "embedded" in everything he's ever written. 🙄

      I think that's the gist of Charles Mill's argument - still need to read the book. But I'll be open to taking it seriously.

      I'm not. I haven't read Mills, but, to quote from "The Master and Margarita" (with regard to Soviet hack poetry), "I've read others."

      I'm remaining noncommittal because I'm try not to have opinions about books I haven't read. Same with the CRT stuff. I know only enough to know what CRT isn't, which makes me wary of the discourse.

          As I've repeatedly said, I think "CRT" is a bad label for "wokism" or whatever else one may call The Ideology. But after reading up on it, I see that it's more connected to "actual" CRT than I realized.

          yeah the connection isn't totally imagined, just very broad and vulgar
