After so many years of learning from Stephen, during our recent dialogue, I still sat in awe and admiration of his passion, his deep grasp of Hegel's thought, his genuine compassion and recognition for others. Stephen Houlgate has truly led a Hegelian life and stands as an example to all of us who aspire to lead a philosophical life.

What are we to do with the constant pressure to be happy?

In this article by De Spiritu’s first columnist — Pola Kopa — the importance of negative emotions, it is argued, must be emphasized and incorporated into us if we are to achieve real happiness.

In our latest article by Márton Békés, research director at the House of Terror Museum in Budapest, there is an argument for that only changing a government is far from enough; what we really need is a new era imbued with a conservative spirit.

We are happy to announce our latest article by @JakobSeiero about the relevance of Socrates' wisdom when dealing with Tech.

[Jakob Seierø @JakobSeiero]

Inspired by @tristanharris @JonHaidt @FrancesHaugen I have written an article on Tech and social media with a twist of wisdom from Socrates https://t.co/XvXa8PSULt

Many of our most serious problems today manifest themselves as triviality; only a genuine inwardness, that is, one that simultaneously points outward, can show the path to something more in tune with our present condition.

I am happy to announce that today has my latest article been published on @deSpiritu_. In it I argue for the connection between poetry and life, and it ends with one of my own poems from when I lived in China’s ancient city Nanjing. Enjoy! https://t.co/LIhW9cxks5

This brief sentence from Kierkegaard is unsettling: "[...] despair is the lack of the eternal." If true, it is revealing about our current societal condition, even more so for those of us with spiritual inclinations — about ourselves, that is.
