In the piece, newly rediscovered, he implores the young men of his day to pursue lives of fervid activity, and to avoid indigestion. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/04\/30\/books\/walt-whitman-promoted-a-paleo-diet-who-knew.html\" target=\"_blank\">To you, clerk, literary man, sedentary person, man of fortune, idler, the same advice<\/a>,\u201d he says. \u201cUp!\u201d As the<em>\u00a0New York Times <\/em>notes, \u201cWhitman\u2019s first installment strikes a vatic, exclamatory note: \u2018Manly health! Is there not a kind of charm\u2014a fascinating magic in the words?\u2019 he writes, before outlining the path to \u2018a perfect body, a perfect blood.\u2019 That torrent of advice that follows touches on sex, war, climate, bathing, gymnastics, baseball, footwear, depression, alcohol, shaving, and the perils of \u2018too much brain action and fretting,\u2019 in sometimes rambling prose.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>While we\u2019re on dead white male writers: Is it time to release Rudyard Kipling from detention? True, he was a racist, colonialist na\u00eff who had the gall to speak of the white man\u2019s burden, but <em>The Jungle Book<\/em> isn\u2019t as bad as all that, Malcolm Jones writes: \u201c<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2016\/05\/01\/it-s-high-time-we-let-rudyard-kipling-out-of-the-penalty-box.html\">The Jungle Book <\/a><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2016\/05\/01\/it-s-high-time-we-let-rudyard-kipling-out-of-the-penalty-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">stories were not written by Colonel Blimp. They are not propaganda. They have no agenda. And they are not, in fact, even very optimistic at heart<\/a>. If anything, Kipling\u2019s tales quietly but inescapably leave their readers with a chilly view of life\u2014nasty, poor, brutish, and short (except for elephants, who live practically forever). First and last, the Mowgli stories condemn all humans as foolish, superstitious, mean-spirited, and full of hubris, specifically for our propensity to assume superiority over the animal kingdom \u2026 The truth is, Kipling wrote a lot of ill-conceived garbage and he wrote a lot of truly wonderful fiction as well, and it\u2019s usually not at all hard to tell the difference. Even when it is, the effort is justified. Pondering how a writer so good could occasionally go so wrong forces us to contemplate how all of us, even the most enlightened, can be swayed and deluded by the assumptions and beliefs that hold sway in the times in which we live.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>There was a time, roughly a quarter century ago, when one would hear the phrase \u201cI feel like\u201d only in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xnjcVvO40bg\" target=\"_blank\">catchy ads for Chicken Tonight<\/a>. But now the phrase is everywhere, leaving our discourse awash in subjectivity. As Molly Worthen writes, \u201c\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/05\/01\/opinion\/sunday\/stop-saying-i-feel-like.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018I feel like\u2019 masquerades as a humble conversational offering, an invitation to share your feelings, too\u2014but the phrase is an absolutist trump card<\/a>. It halts argument in its tracks \u2026 The phrase cripples our range of expression and flattens the complex role that emotions do play in our reasoning. It turns emotion into a cudgel that smashes the distinction\u2014and even in our relativistic age, there remains a distinction\u2014between evidence out in the world and internal sentiments known only to each of us.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If your goal is to shake the education system to its bedrock, upending the very notion of a curriculum and doing away with universities as we know them \u2026 you\u2019re gonna need some convincing posters. When Maurice Stein and Larry Miller wrote the <em>Blueprint for Counter Education<\/em>, they were sure to spruce up all that talk of Eldridge Cleaver and Jean-Luc Godard with some impressive visuals, <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/thecut\/2016\/04\/see-radical-counter-education-posters-from-1970s.html?mid=twitter_nymag\" target=\"_blank\">now collected in a new edition of the book<\/a>. \u201cSurrounded by charts, the participant will be confronted by ideas and issues that compel him to interact with everything going on around him\u2014from movies, to riots, to political campaigns,\u201d the introduction reads. \u201cThere is no text book, no syllabus, no final exam \u2026 THE REVOLUTION BEGINS HERE.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Reading Joseph Brodsky\u2019s poem \u201cOn Love,\u201d Kathryn Harrison was struck by the line \u201cFor darkness restores what the light cannot repair\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/entertainment\/archive\/2016\/04\/kathryn-harrison-joseph-brodsky-by-heart\/478791\/\" target=\"_blank\">The line also defines writing, at least writing the way I experience it. For me, writing is a process that demands cerebral effort, but it\u2019s also one informed by the unconscious<\/a>. My work is directed by the needs of my unconscious. And through that dark, opaque process, I can restore what might otherwise be lost \u2026 I teach writing, and before I taught I never would guessed the thing I say most often is: \u2018Please stop thinking.\u2019 But people really write better without thinking, by which I mean without self-consciousness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1858, Walt Whitman made an impassioned contribution to a series called Manly Health and Training, a kind of precursor to the self-help movement.
