Rachel Stone Mindfulness
How many times have we been encouraged to see the cup half-full instead of half-empty? Oftentimes in western society, the push to be optimistic and to think positive is drilled into us from a young age.

Beginning with the shadows on the wall of the cave in which each person dwells, that process gradually enables us to grasp the essences that are manifested in individual works of art. Without...

Joseph Norio Uemura Uemura’s Reflections on the Mind of Plato
"Plato was not a Platonist! I would like to show . . . that anyone who reads the dialogues of Plato without bias or an ax to grind will find a humorous, witty, pleasant friend; and not a desiccated scholarly mandarin.

In the twenty-four centuries that have passed since the Athenians put Socrates to death, every generation has interpreted the meaning...
