I'm not a fan of introductions not written by the authors themselves. - -Liberties were taken in typesetting. Few of them I can imagine causing any outrage, but I did add a non-negligible amount of typographical emphasis in various forms to \essaytitle{Philosophy Proper}. I found it a challenge to navigate his language in the section, and to my own reading and a few that I showed it to, having a wider variety of means to specify different kinds of terms, being used in different kinds of ways, was a great aid. - -I have included a number of additional pieces of writing not in the original publication. These writings fall into three categories: -\vskip 0.3em -\begin{enumerate}[label=\alph*., nosep, itemsep=0.5em] - \item The pieces that composed the collection known as \booktitle{Fragments \& Reconstructions from a Destroyed Oeuvre, 1959--1963}, along with (probably) a number of other things that just happened to be near them. These were tediously dragged off of the MoMA online collection of Flynt's artwork.\footnote{\texttt{\uline{https://www.moma.org/artists/35796}}} These pieces generally predate the ones here, and I find they often add interesting context and show some through-lines of Flynt's thinking, concepts as they develop and mature, yadda yadda. - \item The later piece of writing \essaytitle{The Radicalism of Unbelief}, published in \textsc{i-kon} magazine in 1982. Flynt's philosophy by no means stopped developing with this book, and I think this is a (somewhat unusually) approachable piece that paints a picture of some directions his thinking would develop in. - \item The old, striking, and distinctly-disowned-feeling essay \essaytitle{Communists Must Give Revolutionary Leadership in Culture} (published 1965). Because of how disowned-feeling it does feel, I have some hesitation about putting it in. It certainly feels uncanny to see Flynt so \emph{aligned} with a \emph{programme}. I still found it a quite interesting historical artifact both in the development of Flynt's thinking and as a peephole into the political dynamics of the art scene at the time, such as Flynt himself reflects upon in writings like \essaytitle{\textsc{The Art Connection}: My endeavor's intersections with art} (2005). -\end{enumerate} - -\vskip 3em - -That's all. Enjoy. Thanks for your interest, I worked quite hard on it. - -\vfill - -{\raggedleft\itshape ----Salitter Committee (Phoebe)\par} - -\clearpage -\null\vfill -\photopage{img/flynt_wak}{}{From the cover of \emph{Fragments \& Reconstructions from a Destroyed Oeuvre, 1959--1963}}{} -\vfill \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
