"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28, KJV)
"My me is God!"- Catherine of Genoa
in order for philosophy/theory to be a guide to action for the people who are its alleged subjects, this theory must risk essentialism-- risk that there are given commonalities between populations of people.
it's become increasingly clear to me over the past two weeks that this doesn't mean god doesn't exist, as i was pretty much convinced over break, but rather that there has to be something unifying us all.
scary.
in other news, i'm working on improving my music listening skills
and i need a lamp for my bedside table.
