I offer here a narrative of vocation. It is not a psychological history, a mustering of affections and anxieties and aversions, a prowl through my unconscious. It is not a history of ideas, a recital of those connections or boundaries or passions of thought I have paused to notice. It is not a comment on other papers assembled here—which I have not yet seen—though perhaps it is a way of expressing appreciation for them. It is a chronicle of events and activities that have nudged me into one arena or contest or vocabulary rather than another. |
