'Individual history matters because ideas matter; people who have the ideas matter; learning the genealogy (if not progressive evolution) of ideas matter; Sure, human life and ideas and their relationships and influences are complex and unguided. But they aren't patternless or boundless.They are only made possible with the stuff in circulation (including the limits of language itself), and if we're sure to align the type of claim we make to the kind of evidence we have, we actually can help bring our ideas and practices into focus for due consideration and learning'. Derek B. Miller, The Policy Lab.
