: "Simone Weil: A Philosophy of emptiness, action, and attention. Why her Philosophy is life changing, and why Albert Camus called her "the only great spirit of our time.""

: "Slavoj Žižek, Peter Singer, and Nancy Sherman debate the flaws of a human-centred Morality. Our anthropocentric approach has ransacked the Earth and imperilled the natural world—Morality needs to transcend human interests to be truly objective."

: "It is a mistake to say that life is a gift. Existence cannot be 'given' since its recipient by definition does not exist. Since Existence itself is unlike other goods or harms we can do to others, we need another vocabulary to discuss the ethics of creation."

: "Imagination is not a way to escape reality but the route by which we become positive agents within the world. For Iris Murdoch, true moral growth comes from rejecting ego-driven fantasies and using imagination to see and love others as they truly are."

: ""Priests should be locked up." Nietzsche ends The Antichrist with seven provocative propositions. They are so radical, many editions don't print this final page, even to this day. But they are logical consequences of his philosophy nevertheless"
