Tumblr of the Day: Discourse on the Otter

Anyone who has been near an undergrad philosophy class in the last 50 years will tell you that the theme of the Other has been a constant among the world’s thinkers. From Marxism to post-structuralism to feminism to queer theory, the Other is everywhere.  But wouldn’t it be much better (or at least cuter) if the Other were, in fact, an otter?

Never fear, the internet is here with a tumblr for all your otter/Other needs, with quotes from the likes of Adorno and Horkheimer, William Morris and Jean-Luc Nancy.
