    3,882 words

    Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

    Introduction

    Racial versus Genetic Essentialism

    New American citizens on their way to becoming like us.

    3,161 words

    In a series of articles that will follow I will examine the defining issue of our cause, which is essentialism, and in particular, essentialist identities.

    4,704 words

    Translations: Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Ukrainian

    Martin Heidegger is one of the giants of twentieth-century philosophy, both in terms of the depth and originality of his ideas and the breadth of his influence in philosophy, theology, the human sciences, and culture in general.

    Heidegger was born on September 26, 1889, in the town of Meßkirch in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He died on May 26, 1976 in Freiburg and was buried in Meßkirch. (more…)

    The singer Édith Piaf famously, and throatily, regretted nothing about anything. But the poet John Betjeman wished that he’d had more sex.
