This reminds me of Ozymandias by Shelley. “And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias. king of kings: Look on my works. ye Mighty. and despair.' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck. boundless and bare The lone and level sands stre....

The question of social cohesion or cooperation has been a recurring one for me. It inevitably involves questions about human nature. since what it reveals is that human beings are “social creatures” in a particular sense that I have tried sporadically to develop. Eric Voegelin has been a touchstone for me in this context. especially… The post What Is A “Social Creature”. Reflections on Education and Order appeared first on VoegelinView.

In yesterday's 'Mud huts. Communion. and the Tree of Life.' I read a reference to the Zulu holy man Credo Mutwa. looked him up on Wikipedia. and discovered that he had written a graphic novel called The Tree of Life Trilogy.Today I happened to hear someone on a podcast pronounce Sedona. the city in Arizona. as Sedoña.
