Crooked Timber

For the album by Therapy?, see Crooked Timber (album).

Crooked Timber is a blog leaning left-of-center politically primarily administered by academics. The blog's name is inspired by a quotation from philosopher Immanuel Kant: "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made," from his 1784 essay "Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose". It includes contributions from a variety of experts in fields such as philosophy, political science, and sociology.
