Queen's Quarterly, December 22nd, 2004

One of the greatest twentieth-century philosophers could hardly be expected to dodge the commemorative wave that has swamped our times, and there has been a flood of books, colloquia, and celebrations. Indeed, there has been attention enough to flatter the ego of a man who knew little modesty, but enough also to irritate a deeply critical mind that would have been horrified to find its legacy transformed into a fetish of the culture industry.
