Crooked Timber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crooked Timber is a widely-read political blog run by a group of (mostly) academics from and working in several different nations, including the USA, the UK, Ireland, Australia and Singapore.

Contents

Crooked Timber was founded in July 2003 as a merger of several individual blogs, including Junius and Gallowglass, along with some new contributors. Additional members were added over subsequent months until the group reached an agreed optimum of 15 members.

Crooked Timber ranked in Technorati's Top 100 blogs between 2003 and 2005 and is still widely linked to in the academic blogosphere.

The name alludes to a quotation of Immanuel Kant: "Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made." (Isaiah Berlin also alluded to the same quote in The Crooked Timber of Humanity: Chapters in the History of Ideas.)
