本日、休みを取って久し振りに喫茶店で寛ぎながら、ネットサーフィンをしていて目にしたサイト、本書を引用したＢＢＣのプログラム（後で家に帰って探すも、何故か見つからず。トンネルのような通路で擦れ違う二人の人物の写真あり）が心に残ったので、備忘録的に。

本日、ディラン・トマス没後６５年。
Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Robert Plomin
It is an age old debate that engages scientists and philosophers; which is the more powerful influence on who we are, nature or nurture? In recent years, genetic science has done much to reframe the debate by highlighting the connections between our individual DNA and our traits and behaviours. At the forefront of this research is Robert Plomin, a professor of behavioural genetics at Kings College London. To what extent are our genes our destiny?

Kimberle Crenshaw
The United States of America is a republic divided. The Trump presidency has exposed fissures that run along lines of race, gender, education, and culture. In next month's mid-term elections the fight for political power will be between the two traditional parties - Republican and Democrat, but perhaps a different sort of activism is needed to deliver real change? HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Kimberle Crenshaw - a professor of law, a social activist and influential advocate of the idea of intersectionality. Is it the group, not the individual that matters most in today's America?

On Intersectionality: Essential Writings
Finally, the convergence of distinct social movements with a traditionally male-dominated socialist left would not have been possible without the work of Kimberlé Crenshaw, who pioneered intersectionality theory. Intersectionality has become the most influential framework for understanding the multiple, overlapping oppressions we face, and their relationship both to colonialism and economic exploitation. Once it was widely taught in universities it became the unacknowledged terrain on which social movements previously at war over their own primacy could begin to work together. Surprisingly, we will have to wait until 2019 for Crenshaw’s definitive collection, On Intersectionality: Essential Writings, but her more specific studies are widely available. And in the meantime, as they say, la lutte continue.

Peter Singer
When we talk of power we think of tangible institutions, governments, armies, big business. But how about the power of ideas? From Socrates to Marx philosophers have challenged us to rethink the way we see the world and our place in it. So too my guest today, Australian philosopher Peter Singer. His writing on the relations between rich and poor, on medical ethics and animal rights have seen him variously described as the most influential and dangerous philosopher alive today. Does he believe ideas can change the world?

Dance to the Music of Time, Vol. I: Spring (A Dance to the Music of Time)
Q: Is there a book you really wish you’d written yourself?
A: A Dance to the Music of Time, by Anthony Powell. That book was a fascinating primer for me in how to write a sequence of books with the same cast of characters, and having the main character age along the way. This notion that life is a dance to the music of time – if you’re writing a series it’s crucial to know how to do it.
Q: What about a book that’s highly acclaimed but you think is overrated?
A: There’s a lot of great literature I’ve tried reading and couldn’t. War and Peace and Middlemarch I didn’t really get on with. The literary novel sometimes disappoints me. When I was at university I was a big fan of Thomas Pynchon, and I’ve tried some of the writers who have come after him and not really enjoyed them. I’m at an age now where if I’m not enjoying a book I tend to put it aside rather than fight my way to the bitter end. There are a hell of a lot of books out there I still want to read before I go.
