Losing Ourselves: Learning to Live without a Self

Fri, 10 Apr 2026
Explores the philosophical concept of the self versus the person, arguing that the idea of a fixed, independent self is an illusion. Garfield posits that understanding ourselves as persons, who are interdependent and socially constructed, leads to a more ethical and flourishing existence. The text references classical Indian and Western philosophical traditions, employing analogies like chariots, flames, and money to illustrate the conventional nature of personal identity, as opposed to a fundamental, inherent self. It also discusses how the illusion of the self contributes to egoism and a distorted view of agency, advocating for a selfless moral landscape rooted in interdependence and compassion. Ultimately, the author suggests that recognizing our reality as persons dissolves philosophical puzzles like the "problem of other minds" and encourages a more integrated and spontaneous way of living.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026
Explores the relationship between scientific advancements and literary responses in sixteenth-century England, particularly focusing on the shift away from Aristotelian naturalism. The author examines how the introduction of Arabic numerals, including the concept of zero, impacted mathematical thought and its reflection in literature like Shakespeare's sonnets and King Lear. The text also investigates how writers like Spenser, Marlowe, and others grappled with new astronomical discoveries, changing ideas about matter, and evolving medical theories, often expressing anxiety about the intelligibility and stability of the universe. Ultimately, it highlights the complex interplay between emerging scientific paradigms and the imaginative world of Renaissance literature, revealing how intuitive understanding clashed with new, often counter-intuitive, scientific realities.

Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions

Wed, 08 Apr 2026
Explores the multifaceted nature of depression and anxiety, challenging the pervasive notion of a chemical imbalance as the sole or primary cause. Hari, drawing on social science research and personal anecdotes, argues that these conditions often stem from various forms of disconnection: from meaningful work, other people, meaningful values, and a secure future, as well as the impact of childhood trauma and societal inequality. The text highlights how pharmaceutical companies have influenced the narrative around depression, emphasizing chemical solutions while downplaying social and psychological factors. Ultimately, Hari advocates for reconnection strategies—such as community engagement, meaningful work, and addressing trauma—as more holistic and effective approaches to mental well-being than reliance solely on medication.

Lost Girls: Sex and Death in Renaissance Florence

Tue, 07 Apr 2026
Explores the lives of adolescent girls in Renaissance Florence, particularly those housed in the Casa della Pietà, a shelter established in the mid-16th century. The text meticulously examines the historical context, including societal views on prostitution, family structures, and medical practices, which often left young women vulnerable. It investigates the Pietà's operations, from its financial struggles and textile-based labor to its ambiguous role in providing healthcare that may have included abortifacients or treatments for venereal diseases like syphilis. The sources also question the reliability of historical records by comparing official chronicles with financial ledgers and medical recipes, suggesting that the high mortality rate at the Pietà stemmed from its mission to accept already sick or abandoned girls, a practice that ceased as it transitioned into a convent.
