"We like to imagine there’s an invisible thread that ties us to our fate, and often we yearn for it—to know who or what is tied to the other end waiting to greet us in our near future.

Here lies an interesting paradox.” Weaving prose, poetry, affirmations, and creative essays, Because You Are: Reflections on Being and Becoming serves as a journey that maps the path to self-forgiveness, acceptance and liberation.

La tendance dominante de la philosophie moderne donne un sens aux grandes révolutions européennes du dernier demi-millénaire. Il est impossible de comprendre le fond de cette philosophie, si ce n’est à la lumière des revendications d’une liberté toujours plus étendue. Par ces révolutions, des monarchies héritées du Moyen Âge ont été balayées et l’autorité spirituelle de l’Église compromise.

The concept of disparity has long been a topic of obsession and argument for philosophers but Slavoj Žižek would argue that what disparity and negativity could mean, might mean and should mean for us and our lives has never been more hotly debated.

In Before the Movement, Dylan C. Penningroth brilliantly revises the conventional story. Drawing on long-forgotten sources found in the basements of county courthouses across the nation, Penningroth reveals that African Americans, far from being ignorant about law until the middle of the twentieth century, have thought about, talked about, and used it going as far back as even the era of slavery.

The implications of that remarkable convention would be felt around the world - and indeed are still being felt today.

Estranho pensar que a filosofia randiana seja praticamente ignorada no Brasil. Talvez a nossa longa tradição estatizante e nosso apego tradicional ao altruísmo explique, mesmo que em parte, tal fenômeno.
