The book is divided into two parts: Enlightenment as viewed by philosophers from Kant to Joseph Ratzinger, a frightening journey where all the ills of modernity are heaped upon the centering of man; the second part, which I have not read yet but appears to be an historian's recuperation of the idea.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Democrat politicians are objecting to the strikes in the Caribbean—as should everyone.
But Democrats have supported the Israeli government in continuously perpetrating precisely these same war crimes, including "double tap" murders in which they strike a civilian target, then hit the survivors.

What are double-tap strikes that Israel used to hit a hospital?
Israel's two strikes on Nasser Hospital are part of a pattern that has run the length of the war, monitors say.
