| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The structure of afterthought - which I take from the French phrase 'l'esprit de l'escalier' - has an unhealthy domination over our thought, our scholarship and politics. Rather than facing up to the present and writing to the future, there is a powerful tendency to retain our gaze backwards, to be shackled in the past way of thinking. I suggest the counter-structure of imagination as one way to think about the nature of scholarship. |
