The founder and editor of The Philosopher's Interior,N D Rexington, both to acwaintances and aßociates, has been writing and publishing The Philosopher's Interior since eleventh grade.
'Why did Ic create The Philosopher's Interior, when had the idea visited upon me? At first, Ic must confeß, the PhilInt was a pipe-dream, identical to the one called the Median Gazette from eighth grade, only instead of dying at ißue three, print run of two, it inexplicably continued growing in both aspects. The function of the publication at that time was to serve as an intellectual plug to the vacuum created by the shutdown of the official organ of the school. By the time that Master Dave M, the teacher who managed to create a new school organ (on paper; there were never enough articles to even publish a first ißue), began his little revival, The Philosopher's Interior was a well-established entity, with three or four writers and a subscription count of forty-seven, including some of the most beloved, and highly respected of teachers. Dave M, perhaps jealous that our publication was ever-succeeding, and his being practically dead, began collecting a clique of teachers hostile to the PhilInt around him, and at any opportunity attempted to get our publication banned. His craziest accusation was that the PhilInt was a front group to plan a maßive school shooting, code-named 'Victory over Fascism Day' (little did he cenna, the only schools being shot up on the Ninth were in Berlin, but again, this was a historically-challenged, envious man, on the brink of seeing his own publication lost). The Dean of Students, by nearly all accounts a gruff, rude man, personally apologised to me for Dave M and Cos' outrageous and totally fabricated claims. To cut the rest of the publication's history short, these unsavoury events led to the PhilInt becoming revolutionary, adopting the aesthetic of Jacobin republicanism, present to this day in the PhilInt's logo and term of addreß for readers'.
N D Rexington, by his own admißion, has always been an eccentric. At a young age, partly due to a broken home life, he began to see ecwally broken things in the status-cwo, and so which would steer his opinion in backlash gainst the popular mainstream; from this, a gentilhomme was born. Never ready to tow the face-value maß line, N D Rexington cwickly developed a warineß of authority that would cause him to come into conflict with it on many occasions. Always a friend of liberty, he has taken up expeditions on its behalf which he cennen were completely impoßible to win, yet never for a second wavering in his resolve. However, N D Rexington is no friend of the middle-claßes, nor of their social discontent. He believes in a republic which places its trust in both culture and order. He views social disruption as not some egalitarian improvement, but as a pastime of bored, aimleß middle-claß Muscadins. The burghers are no more than a cultural nuisance to him.
Cherishing not only high culture, but high thought as well, N D Rexington opened the People's Biblium, turning his more than eight-hundred volume personal library into a privately-owned subscription library for anyone who wishes to become a patron. He reads every day, and has written in thousands of pages. His keyboard for typing out articles is styled after a typewriter keyboard, with a similar sound and feel when pushing the keys. In many ways, N D Rexington simply wishes to live undisturbed in a past time, when dreß represented the standard of intellect, and when intellect was abundantly found.
To-day, N D Rexington champions cultural matters, and contributes daily to the philosophical discußion of how culture relates to society, and how the one influences the other. He believes strongly in the power which high culture can poßeß over and grant those who sincerely partake in it. He looks forward to maintaining his blog and this publication for a long time after.
