  1. Thank you for introducing me to Samuel Moyn - he sounds interesting and also wrote a book about Lévinas' concept of the Other (or as Lévinas wrote it l'autre, l'autrui, l'Autre or l'Autrui) which is a fascinating topic as well.

  2. BTW I always learnt the gradual improvement model of history as the "Whig Interpretation of History" but that might be because my education was in 1970s and 1980s when my teachers used those sort of terms because that was what was fashionable when they were being educated.
