How much do we value the ordinary, the everyday? How much should we value it? #EliSiegel's wonderful writing about #Everydayness is great encouragement for us all: https://t.co/w3zSEwEOR8.

There's so much #worry in the world today. This new publication has crucial understanding of this subject, in history and now: Read "Looking at Worry—& Abraham Lincoln". https://t.co/c2qSNoQl1X via @TheARFdn

I highly recommend James and the Children, a masterpiece of literary criticism by #EliSiegel about # "The Turn of the Screw", and a crucial understanding of where evil begins in the human self: https://t.co/RQIj4j91cr #HenryJames

Read “Contempt—How Should We See It?” Through it, you'll understand the cause of some of the most hurtful forms of contempt affecting America now & also some of the most ordinary: https://t.co/uUdAS6QYS2. #AestheticRealism

At this time of such worry in our dear nation, I get strength and hope from this essay by #EliSiegel: https://t.co/zc61bobY7b

Needed today more than ever: the understanding of what anger & contempt are. This understanding is in #AestheticRealism and in this publication: https://t.co/cUepaFTEFc

Here's a thrilling, powerful issue with crucial understanding of the rift people have made between art & science, and a showing that they are essentially related: https://t.co/jltXShTKZ1 via @TheARFdn

A great new issue, about the relation of knowing and feeling, #science and #art: https://t.co/af5GYFfPlW via @TheARFdn

I love this wonderful essay by #EliSiegel, "Literature; a Run with Some Philosophic Stops," with swift and precise comment on many authors, including #Shakespeare, Virgil, Rabelais, #Cervantes, Scott, Kant, and more. https://t.co/p4gPwymopq

Personally useful, and immeasurably relevant in 2022: "If the trip towards #truth isn't pleasant, it isn't the fault of the destination." —an Aesthetic Realism maxim by #EliSiegel. https://t.co/KXuwkTUXZy

Read this powerful new issue: “#Freedom & Our Purposes”—https://t.co/BFrij4G8v1
