	ACT Like You Know: African-American Autobiography and White Identity - Crispin Sartwell - African Bookstore
		For Crispin Sartwell, as philosopher, cultural critic, and white male, these texts, through their exacting insights and external perspective, provide a rare opportunity, a means of glimpsing and gaining access to contents and core of white identity.
		Sartwell argues that African-American autobiography perceives white identity from a particular and unique vantage point; one that is knowledgeable and intimate, yet fundamentally removed from the white world and thus unencumbered by its obfuscating claims to normativity.
		Crispin Sartwell is Chair of Humanities and Sciences at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the author of several books, including, most recently.

	End of Story
		Sartwell muses over a lot of things, with a focus on language and narrative, but touching on more (or equally?) basic issues such as identity and self, human agency and life, development and history, meaning and the origin of meaning.
		Sartwell’s attempt to annihilate language, narrative and narrativity targets the practice of collapseing narrative into the structure of human action and experience, and vice versa – a practice he traces back to MacIntyre and other philosophers and narratologists.
		Sartwell’s denunciation of language as chatter (and ultimately meaningless) is targeting language ‘on holiday’, i.e., the type of narrative and narrative analysis that highlights and accentuates the story world.

	Expatriation, Nationalism, and Culture: Brooks, Williams,
		Sartwell nicely points out the manner in which the addict's fractured and contradictory being seems to confirm the "common-sense Western notion of the self" as a self-divided being.
		The focus of Professor Sartwell's paper is on the internal conflict that shapes the identity of the addict.
		Sartwell's "addict" is primarily a subjectivity shaped within the context of philosophical discourse.

		Crispin Sartwell not only speaks with a fresh and distinctive voice, he says fresh and distinctive things.
		Pursuing the word for beauty through six different cultures, Sartwell illuminates its richness and breadth through a multitude of fascinating meditations that range from the fine arts to the popular ones: from rock to reggae, fireworks and perfume to Grünewald and Brueghel, from Plato and Frege to Emerson and Confucius.
		Sartwell's commentaries are perceptive and often profound but never pretentious, and his personal, informal style is engaging.

	Epistemic minimalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The thesis is a minimalism in the sense that it eschews the additional requirements piled on top of true belief and argues that the intuitive reasons given for the JTB analysis and its descendents are either misleading or misunderstood.
		The most famous (or infamous) proponent of epistemic minimalism is Crispin Sartwell (1991).

	ArtsEditor: October 2000: Obscenity, Anarchy, Reality
		To Sartwell, love and affirmation are an openness to the world, in the form of a bodily posture and not a philosophy or a system of thought—even if that openness to the world causes physical pain.
		Sartwell makes the case for both as a release from the virtual, sterile world of institutions and mores, which do not keep us safe from reality, but more often, perpetuate old hypocrisies and create new dangers.
		Sartwell is the backlash, which asserts: We go overboard with our escape from pain; there is value in pain.

	SUNY Press :: Extreme Virtue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Sartwell argues that the real problem is a pervasive lack of truth in political leaders and that more can be accomplished by straight talk than by polling and focus groups.
		"As with Sartwell's other work, this one is personal in the best way—that is, it has personality and character, rather than being either personal in the sense of self-indulgent or attempting objective impersonality to the point of complete dullness.

	Spinsanity - Countering rhetoric with reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Crispin Sartwell, a philosophy professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, struck an early blow in what could become a harsh rhetorical battle in the pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday.
		In numerous instances, Sartwell engages in dissembling and wholly inappropriate comparisons, qualified with "weasel words," that are more likely to inflame the rhetoric surrounding this issue than provide a solid case that civil liberties are being abridged.
		Sartwell's specialty in this piece is hyperbolic comparisons that grossly overstate any actual violations of civil rights that have thus far taken places.

		Sartwell’s twenty-one steps, in other words, cannot be made infinite upon demand.
		Original and copy are not well-defined terms: not only because they are linked by intermediaries, as Sartwell says, but because they contaminate one another by forming a cycle that repeats through history.

	Boston.com / A&E / Books / Short Takes
		In this engaging meditation, Sartwell (whose first entirely conscious experience of beauty had to do with a cat-suited Diana Rigg on "The Avengers") considers the names for "beauty" in six cultures, and the sometimes alien, sometimes compatible, always idiosyncratic associations they evoke from one to another.
		Thus the Sanskrit term for beauty, "sundara," or holiness, leads Sartwell down a zigzag path from the Kama Sutra to reggae to the Isenheim altarpiece.
		Sartwell's prose is lively, his notions provocative, his philosophy as accessible as an open window.

		And indeed, Sartwell stretches the idea of beauty beyond any normal meaning, and he makes it useless as a category of discernment.
		Either way, Sartwell's belief that his fragments of reflection are worth our while betrays a self-confidence that the twenty-five pages or so I pondered do not justify.

		Crispin Sartwell recently did his damndest to knock some sense into a conference full of young Democrats:
		A common and natural result of undue respect for the law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed…
		But Sartwell is astute enough to see that if he pulls on this thread of logic long enough, he may end up chillier by one sweater:
