Catholic Church as an institution predates the rise of European influence in the world. Christianity, with its combination of Greek and Hebrew influences, is closely tied to the development of the "Western civilization" with those same influences. And a look at the Church's history can help remind us, in a new way, that the West is neither white nor European – for neither, fundamentally, is the Church. By Amod Lele on 18 May 2025

Philosophy is such a discomforting discipline. It’s a little bit frightening to find one’s settled convictions being challenged all the time. I’ve spent 15 years being confident social contract theory can accommodate nonhuman animals. But, writing a paper on justice & motivations, I’ve had to change my mind. I don’t like it. This is one reason the essay remains an important part of a university education in the arts, humanities, & social sciences. When you do the hard work of trying to craft an argument into an essay, you're forced to question & think at a deeper level.
