Unlike most career academics, Lingis has made a name for himself collecting exotic birds and other creatures, staging performance readings at professional conferences, keeping up a diligent correspondence with friends at home and abroad, and splicing together high theory with intimate autobiography. …”

“…In the end, perhaps religious texts serve as cultural bellwethers for the health of the information commons in all areas.
