AGNES CALLARD, AUTHOR AT THE POINT MAGAZINE Half a Person. In December 2018, I found myself unexpectedly pregnant.

In his essay “‘Ideal Theory’ as Ideology,” first published in 2005 and later collected in Black Rights/White Wrongs (2017), Mills argues that ideal theory is, as his title implies, an “ideology.”. By this he means that the reliance on ideal theory among philosophers like Rawls is evidence of an “obfuscatory” project—a project BEYOND THE GUILT TAX Beyond the Guilt Tax. In the essays my students write, I have begun to notice a common pattern. They are structured almost like Aesop’s fables.

The Point is a magazine of philosophical writing that embodies two distinct but complementary convictions: on the one hand, that humanistic thinking has relevance for contemporary life; on the other, that our lives are full of experiences worth thinking about. We welcome submissions for our print journal, which is published three times a year, and for our website, which is updated continuously. A FRANK EXCHANGE OF VIEWS Alice Neel is generally thought to be twentieth-century America’s greatest portraitist—an assessment she would likely have rejected as too restrictive. Given her status, it’s little “DO NOT ASK ME WHO I AM” We just can’t seem to shake Foucault. The French philosopher, loathed or loved, has not dimmed in significance since his death ofAIDS in 1984.
THE IDEA OF A NATION The coronavirus has only made the alignment between nationalism and a certain sector of the financial elite that much clearer. There are audible sighs of irritation that the nation-state—so long a faithful partner in subduing labor unrest and bailing out one strategic corporate bankruptcy after another—now has to be mobilized to keep consumers and some workers alive. In the face of the EDMUND WALDSTEIN, O.CIST., AUTHOR AT THE POINT MAGAZINE A Deeper Longing. The restless pursuit of pleasure and excitement is often an attempt to divert ourselves from our own misery. The monastic life is all about drawing back from that diversion—entering into a silence and monotony that allows us to really feel the pain of our spiritual loneliness.EXAMINED LIFE
Examined Life is certainly not boring. Astra Taylor, the director, selects eight thinkers and gives them each ten minutes to talk philosophy in various choice locations, from the Bergdorf Goodman luxury department store on 5th Avenue—also used as a location for ON THE HATRED OF LITERATURE On the Hatred of Literature. SHARE. When I was in college, at the end of the last century, the prevailing school of literary interpretation was called “New Historicism.”. The foundational assumption of this approach was that artworks were primarily of value insofar as they could offer us insight into the context and conditions of their GETTING ANIMALS IN VIEW Animals also seem to pop in and out of our moral view. Most people would agree that it is wrong to hurt or kill a non-human animal without a good reason, but then it turns out that any reason, short of malicious pleasure, is reason enough. We want to eat the animal, and to raise her cheaply for that purpose; we can learn from doingexperiments

IS PLAGIARISM WRONG? Academia is an honor-culture, in which recognition—in the form of citations—serves as a kind of ersatz currency. In ancient Greek, there is a word “pleonexia,” which means “grasping after more than your share.”. Plagiarism norms encourage pleonectic overreach. One can see such overreach in the fact that those with perfect jobToggle navigation
