About “300 Words About”
“300 Words About…” is written by University of Victoria undergrad Christopher Felling. Targets for its brevity are usually philosophical and theoretical works, as well as literature. The stated purposes of the blog are to 1) make the works of the academy accessible and enjoyable to a wide audience, and 2) in doing so, inspire other young theory and philosophy enthusiasts- and hopefully casual readers as well- to begin or supplement their own reading.
And this makes seventy-five words.
The format can be summarized in much less: take any book, essay or talk, condense its most interesting arguments into exactly 300 words.
