More From Lewis H. Lapham

Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, i reject a limine. physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. the aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. all of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. if it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.

It's a shame for women's history to be all about men--first boys, then other boys, then men men men. it reminds me of the way our school history textbooks were all about wars and elections, one war after another, with the dull periods of peace skimmed over whenever they occurred. (our teachers deplored this and added extra units about social history and protest movements, but that was still the message of the books.)

In these cases, where there is an unjust aggression, i can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor. i emphasize the word: "stop". i'm not saying drop bombs, make war, but stop the aggressor. the means used to stop him would have to be evaluated.
