In this essay, I discuss the necessity of a caring society in the development of people capable of autonomous rationality and of pursuing justice.

In this essay, I discuss the Greek form of love known as "xenia", or the love of foreigners and guests. The more diverse a population becomes, the greater the demands for xenia in order to have enough coherence despite that plurality.

In the past, people have created bubbles that were rich with meaning, but such bubbles have become nihilistic spaces under capitalism. How might we re-enchant our bubbles and reinspire post-capitalist meaning?
