You will be supporting my (as yet) fledging work as a writer. Help nourish my unique and direct take on the world. Especially in the current mass formational madness. Knowing I have readers really sharpens the brain and focuses the mind. I do hope you get something from my writing and share it with others. I welcome feedback and comment.
I write a mixture of long and short reads. Some of this writing takes time to develop, so there may be weeks when I am working on something that’s not quite ready to go. I’d rather post less material of a higher quality than post frequently for the sake of getting something out. I hope you agree. Additionally, I have recently begun sharing writing I feel resonates with my own thinking and/or deserves a wider readership.
I’m getting to know what I write about through writing about it, if that makes any sense. I was once described by a professor as a ‘sideways thinker’ and I felt it suited the way in which I approach the world. I have read across a number of disciplines in the humanities and frequently make links across them. I think in an interdisciplinary manner which I hope adds something interesting to the debates going on right now.
My occasional podcasts have been monologues or further commentary on pieces I have written. I am hoping to get some more conversational pieces done in the near future. This is a new area of me, and I’m on a learning curve!
I am currently researching the concept of ‘idolatry’ with a view to publication. I may share some of this research with readers on this site. (Feedback on this would be helpful) It occurs to me as I type, that much of what I have written already contributes to that theme. I guess I’m sharing already. The other area that I am drawn to investigate is the concept of postmodernism. I believe we are confused about this philosophical field, and it is not always what it seems, nor what we are frequently told it means.
If you are curious about my doctoral work, I am on Academia.Edu where I have now uploaded my thesis. (Search for Caroline Kaye). Any problems, you can message me here at Substack: thesidewaysthinker@substack.com (or *NEW!* send a DM!)
I don’t do paid subscriptions at this time, but simply subscribing and sharing my posts will do a lot to support me and my work. However, I recently signed up to BuyMeACoffee should you feel able and willing to support me on a one-off basis!
