A New Yorker profile of Mitt Romney addresses the question of how well his management style translates in the political arena. Its thesis is that Romney’s approach to politics and governance originates from the institutional nature of Mormonism as well as from his experience in management consulting and corporate turnarounds. The treatment is less sympathetic than most Mormons would hope—probably a foreordained conclusion, given that authoritarian religion and big business would not be expected to be among the Favorite Things of a readership with literary pretensions. Still, the brief take on Mormonism as an institution is interesting. linux modbus software Adobe Acrobat 6 professional

Joseph Smith often exhibited an admirable willingness to salvage rather than savage people and ideas. In a similarly liberal spirit Mike W.’s comment on yesterday’s post shows a desire to find a way to appreciate Spinoza’s thought in light of Mormonism despite Spinoza’s antagonism towards religious authority and other mainstream religious concepts. Indeed, I think there are a number of significant ways in which Mormonism is informed by (or, if you prefer, is compatible with) certain Enlightenment sensibilities that can be traced to Spinoza.

For a few General Conferences in a row I posted summaries of each individual session, but this time I have not. Instead, I decided yesterday to channel the devout Mormon’s sense of entitlement to skimp on Saturday chores and binge on the prophetic word into something I pretty much never do.
