🎉New Issue! | The arc of justice bends according to the human will. There is nothing inevitable about progress. That is the myth: the idea that history happens, rather than that we shape it. Progress is real, and therefore contingent. It is precisely our responsibility to consolidate what has been gained in order to advance it.
This issue features:
✡️one of America’s most influential rabbis, Rabbi David Wolpe, Max Webb Rabbi Emeritus of Sinai Temple, Los Angeles, who shares his reflections on the global challenges we face today and the existential responses required to navigate them as a species
🇺🇸 🇩🇪Kelly M.S. Swope reviews Matthew Stewart’s An Emancipation of the Mind and Andrew Hartman’s (@HartmanAndrew) Karl Marx in America, both from @wwnorton in his essay, “The German Philosophy that Emancipated America”
📚related to Swope’s review, we feature @SamuelLoncar’s 2013 review of David Hollinger’s After Cloven Tongues of Fire (@PrincetonUPress) and Molly Worthen’s Apostles of Reason (@OUPAcademic), showing how nineteenth‑century German liberal theology reshaped American elite Protestant discourse at the founding of our nation and explaining why current debates over “liberal” vs. “evangelical” faith still unfolded in a conceptual framework of German philosophers and theologians
🪶 and poet and translator Michael Bazzett contributes to the translator’s workshop series, where he explores the linguistic fluidity of K’iche’ Maya poet, Humberto Ak’abal (thank you, @AmitMajmudar, our George Steiner Editor for Poetry and Criticism, for curating this series!)

Excited about this review by Kelly Swope I edited for @MarginaliaROB. He looks at two books: Matthew Stewart's An Emancipation of the Mind and @HartmanAndrew's Marx in America - using Du Bouis's bio of John Brown as a way in. I love Kelly's writing here - check it out! 👇
