Review of Edward J. Watts, Hypatia. The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher

En el presente ensayo se observará que la recuperación del mito medieval de Fausto cumple con el propósito, no sólo de contar una historia similar a la originada durante el siglo XVI, si- no de contar la propia historia de lo que sucedía durante la época en que fue escrita la novela. Así, Thomas Mann hace uso de la narración testimo…[Read more]

This essay examines photographs of the German Expressionist artist, writer, and Tierliebhaber Franz Marc and his dog, Russi, taking the position that one of the most obvious characteristics of Marc’s life his – affectionate and respectful relationship with Russi – has been largely overlooked, though its documentation is clear. I extol the value…[Read more]

What is philosophy? That’s a good question—not because there’s no answer, but because what’s involved in posing it points up something essential to philosophy. In the Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect, Spinoza sets out what’s required by a definition. A circle, a typical definition might run, is a figure in which all lines drawn fro…[Read more]
