Key Notes
model
Jiang says that in the actual heaven there is no time and space, so hierarchy must be translated into an optical or sensory picture before the human intellect can grasp it.
diagnosis
Jiang reads Sidonia's indifference to creed, country, class, and character as an anti-national intellectual cosmopolitanism associated with anti-Semitic tropes.
model
Jiang argues that intellect severed from culture, nation, and people cannot produce great ideas because ideas emerge from belonging and community.
