Conservatives are really defining themselves as the trash of society.

Texas is banning Plato excerpts from philosophy courses. For context, Plato founded one of the first institutions of higher learning in all of Western civilization. 2,400+ years later, fragile conservatives are trying to censor him.

Empezamos el año con un librazo: el conjunto de ensayos (todos interesantísimos) que Gadamer escribió sobre su maestro. La tesis principal que se desprende es que no hay un único Heidegger, sino múltiples caminos de pensamiento, todos ellos orientados por la pregunta por el ser.
