Leisure and Liberality
Elizabeth C. Corey at First Things
Modernity is molded by the left hemisphere. It could be argued that modernity is, by definition, the culture built by the left hemisphere. As a result, folks these days tend to have atrophied right hemispheres that need to be reinvigorated in order to flourish. Part of that effort requires a revolt against the presumptions of left-hemispheric culture. The revolt is "counter-conduct," a term borrowed from M. Foucault (but used slightly differently). Counter-conduct clears the path to flourish.
