Like the others, it collects work written over roughly a decade. Ideas begun in one book are reworked in the others. All the important questions remain open. Returns is thus not a conclusion, the completion of a trilogy. It belongs to a continuing series of reflections, responses to changing times. In ret- rospect, how can these times be understood? What larger historical developments, shifting pressures and limits, have shaped this course of thinking and writing? Situating one’s own work historically, with limited hindsight, is a risky exercise.
