About Intellectual-Bohemian Vices
37 readings about harmful patterns of character and the choices that sustain them.
What these readings offer
Each article develops a meaning through an imagined situation, its mechanism and consequences, distinctions worth keeping, and questions for reflection. Illustrations and original poems offer another way to recognize the pattern.
Read the examples in their particular circumstances. A mistake, a difficult feeling, or a poor outcome alone does not establish a settled disposition.
Sources and perspectives
Historical quotations accompany contemporary interpretations. Their authors offer perspectives to examine; their wider claims are not automatically adopted by this collection.
