When war is between ways of thinking

Marc Schulman reprints "Separating Truth and Belief" by the French philosopher André Glucksmann, with his own emphasis. This goes hand in hand, I think, with the Dr. Sanity post I linked to the other day.

I don't endorse either post whole-heartedly (they are necessarily simplified to get the foundations of their arguments across quickly -- please keep that in mind), but I think they provide useful background and perspective, especially when read in tandem.
