A Few Notes on Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality
I’ve been so behind on my blog posts, it’s terrible! This is a draft I had from last week but I never got around to publishing it. Terrible, I know! Thinking back on Friday’s seminar there was a question that I found interesting and I’m still thinking about it here and there. The question was, […] Continue reading →
The past is confusing
I am not a huge history buff. My father, on the other hand, adores history. Therefore I grew up knowing quite a bit about the past, but I never quite favoured it to the present. I’m a strong believer in … Continue reading → Continue reading →
Silence and Speech
This week, I’d like to talk about a chant–a little ear-worm, if you will–that has been embedded in my mind for decades. It’s an unpleasant puzzle why, when I’ve forgotten other arguably more useful and less damaging things, somehow I … Continue reading →

Here is the full play of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus performed at the Globe Theatre. After watching the play I really have to say that I can’t help but scoff a little at Doctor Faustus (and I […] Continue reading →
Doctor Faustus and Other Nonsensical Thoughts
God is a comedian. Life is the best running joke and Death is the punchline. This blog post is a bit overdue and unfortunately I haven’t come to a clear stance on the play yet, but I guess I’ll write a small little blurb on what’s been on my mind when thinking about Doctor […] Continue reading →
Doctor Faustus: A Deal with the Devil
