OxBlog is holding what is almost certainly a unique one: the worst political philosophy / political theory pick-up lines:
Groundrules: (1) The philosopher/theorist referred to must be at least somewhat well-known. (2) Any use of the phrase “original position” will result in immediate disqualification. (3) Extra points will be awarded for good uses of the phrase “colonization of the lifeworld.” (4) The judging panel consists of Waldorf (my stuffed chimpanzee) and myself. Ties will be broken by my stuffed river otter. Decisions of the judges are final. (5) If you don’t want your name connected with your submission, request anonymity in your email.
Hmm. Kieran Healy has his submission at his site, as does Kevin Drum.
My entry: “How about you and me ditch this crazy System and begin the colonization of the lifeworld?”
Since Josh lacks a comments section, feel free to interact amongst yourselves in mine and I’ll forward the lot.
