		<description><![CDATA[Luno explores in this lecture the border between induction and existentialism. It becomes a critique of analytical philosophy.
I trained formally as an analytic philosopher. Most of the philosophical literature I directly address in my writing is analytical. But my sympathies are nearly always with the existentialist and literary traditions in philosophy. My first entry into [...]]]></description>

My grievance is that in their eyes I count for nothing&#8230;
&#8212;Clarice Lispector2

The allusions to Otto Weininger in Henry Handel (Ethel Florence Lindesay) Richardson&#8217;s 1908 novel Maurice Guest3 have been documented and accompanied with predictable surmises about Weininger&#8217;s contribution to the [...]]]></description>
