Alexandre Kojeve, the great Hegelian philosopher, used to say that all the Sturm und Drang of the intellectual world ultimately spills over to the political world. The emergence of affirmative action as a major issue in current American politics vindicates him: the recent political brouhaha over it was preceded in the last decade or so by a series of celebrated books on the subject, such as Dinesh D'Souza's "Illiberal Education," Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.'s "The Disuniting of America," and Shelby Steele's "The Content of Our Character."

I was poring over the 1996 winter "elective circular," laboring to find an acceptable third course to fulfill one of my distributives. As usual, no help was forthcoming. Insensibly frustrated, I signed up for yet another political philosophy course.

At least since Socrates, intelligent men have repeatedly attempted to infuse meaning into human life to compensate for its hollowness. They have attempted to replace the tedium of Hesiod's "Works and Days" with the elevated pursuit of the "good life" as the paradigmatic human condition. In his column "One Version of the Good Life" (Oct. 9, 1995), Abiola Lapite revives these teleological urgings.

In1896, an unusually astute American misionary in Korea wrote of the typical Korean wife, "... her sway is as despotic as any absolute monarch on earth." This statement overstated the case, but it went a long way in illuminating the real role of women in Korea, as well as much of the Confucian East Asia.

When Chris Kelly '96, suggests in his column "Lessons to Learn From 'Spanking The Monkey'" (Jan. 30) that there should be more explicit and widespread campus discourse about sex, he champions a central, and deplorable, aspect of modernity: the replacement of the idea of love with the reality of sex.

Back in 1989, when the cold war was not long over and the worldwide democratic euphoria was at its apex, Francis Fukuyama declared in a controversial essay that we may be on the brink of universalization of liberal democracy.

When a radically liberal friend back home heard that I had quit The Review and was to become a columnist for The Dartmouth, he asked: "Will you continue to spit out your fascist ideology, or will you begin to write intelligent pieces?"

Since that memorable August, when I first arrived at Dartmouth and began writing for The Dartmouth Review, the question in my mind has been: Can Dartmouth students, who seem to be so robust in body and indolent in mind, deal with intellectual diversity and depth in a campus publication? The definitive answer may hinge on the future success of a magazine tentatively scheduled to dayview toward the end of this term -- the brainchild of Iason Demos '97.

The word "authoritarian" has a negative ring to Western ears. To set the record straight, "authoritarian" is innocuously defined in the New Webster's Dictionary as "favoring, or relating to, the theory that respect for authority is of greater importance than individual liberty."

If The Dartmouth Review had any claim to seriousness, the paper forfeited it with the abrupt (and perhaps forced) resignation of Daniel Garcia Diaz '95 as editor-in-chief. Diaz, along with his predecessor Oron Strauss '95, did much to combat the negative image of the conservative weekly. But The Review's brief experiment with sanity is now over.
