S&W OTD: Revision Grind

The nice thing about the carrel is solitude and coziness (see how my stuff is pushed right up against the wall?). The bad thing about the carrel is harsh overhead lighting--my preferred workspace would be dim, just bright enough to read. Which is not very bright.

I also need some decorations. Badly.

I had planned to spend the morning working in the library, go to work around lunch and then find someplace new to work, but I'm happily grinding away at revisions and expansions on my chant paper, that I'm going to stick it out here for a while and go to work later.

But, its not even noon and the SOTD is already written:

Disclaimer: as I am a music theorist who is at this point merely dabbling in philosophy, it is possible, perhaps even likely, that the following unknowingly recapitulates or distorts issues raised in previous Descartes reception…particularly since I intuit that it would not be much of a stretch to classify most of western philosophy since 1650 under the rubric of “Descartes reception.”
