How humanity goes!

[JD Flynn @jdflynn]

@blondemedSJW But that's how all parenting goes. That's how love goes, actually. It's like a muscle. You exercise it, and your capacity grows. You become capable of things you couldn't envision.

I taught bioethics at Auburn for two years. I had wonderful conversations on extremely divisive concepts. We need *less* conformity in higher ed, not more.

Yesterday the @CatherineProj gatherings were launched in Leiden with an insightful discussion of Antigone at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. Grateful to @NZaidka for making it possible.

It's not "instilled". It is natural, and it is either nurtured or not. Sometimes it is suppressed, and sometimes that suppression happens in places called "school".

“…it takes 10-12 people just to keep up with her…”

I think this is the primary reason to read Great Books in community. One your own, you will simply not keep up with the text.

You need fellow readers, more EYES and HEART-MINDS on the TEXT!

Why did Socrates take Aristodemus along? Why did Aristodemus go along?

New Book on The Education of Cyrus out. Looks very good.

Really diverse set of scholars: Pangle and Dorion; Danzig, Johnson & me.

I've linked to my contribution below.

In 1846, a Danish newspaper called The Corsair did everything it could to take down Søren Kierkegaard with caricatured cartoons exaggerating his crooked spine, mockery of his eccentric outfits, and lurid tales spun around his former fiancée.

"It is fitting but nonetheless tragic that the philosopher and champion of the “single individual” should himself have become a victim of the tyranny of the crowd."

@NedBertz @AmitMajmudar @JaycelAdkins Also, what a fascinating project!

[Neha Zaidka @NZaidka]

Any suggestions for a modern retelling or a good abridged version of the Ramayana? Asking for a friend! @AmitMajmudar @JaycelAdkins

[Neha Zaidka @NZaidka]

@NedBertz @AmitMajmudar @JaycelAdkins Thank you, Ned! Watching this now. This is pretty hilarious. "Dashratha had a son named Kausalya. No, Kausalya is his wife." Lol!

[Neha Zaidka @NZaidka]

@AmitMajmudar @JaycelAdkins How exciting! I should read this… and what a lovely book cover too!
