How the desire to master all things ultimately incites its own undoing.
Nice!
I’ve done a lot of critical study of “power”, and it’s always struck me that Tolkien’s story has an especially strong and unique perspective on this.
I was thinking someday I might expand this essay into a longer piece that weaves Tolkien through thinkers like Foucault, Neitszche, Deleuze... Thanks so much for reading!
That’s my wheel house! I’d be happy to talk about it, when you get to it.
Oh hell yeah! or whenever... Not too many folks in my life I can talk Deleuze with 😁
Me neither! It’s like a past life for me, but it would be fun to revive it a little.
