Stipulations, Excuses, Caveat

The intellectual history of content no doubt warrants a more traditional tour of the literature: from Hegel, at least, if not the Pre-Socratics.

I focus here on less scholarly domains: markets, courtrooms, popular entertainments; because these are, at the moment, the seedbeds of cultural change.

Caveat auditor: from high seriousness to dude! serious. But it seems important these days to begin outside the world of books.
