Linnæus and I juggled outside at the seminary this afternoon, after our philosophy class, The Problem of Evil, with Dr. Welty, a splendid chap, very loving. Nathaniel loves sitting in that class. It is a grand stimulus to his mind, so much of the time under heavy duress.  He needs a mental challenge, while he falls into repetition of thoughts on bees, plants, or climate, which keep him from being able to sleep. He must pace back and forth in our camper.             (alias: Cooper Jackson )         a.k.a. "My Flagship" Cleopatra  has made considerable progress this past year, working as an apprentice to an architect in Raleigh.  I go along with her, as she follows the Billy Graham Rule.        (alias:  Peppycock)         a.k.a. "My Dandelion" Cicero  has sacrificed much of his own personal development at the age of 19, on the cusp of manhood, to step into the ...

He did not mean that the apocalypse was at hand, that wars and violence had ceased, that human beings would no longer love, mate, and play. Kojève called himself a god and made a radical reading of Christianity, but he claimed to be a philosopher, not a prophet. History was over because the final truth about human life had at last been discovered—in the thought of Hegel, the subject of Kojève’s seminar. It followed that there could be no serious debate, and no real conflict, over the proper organization of political life. Kojève’s announcement, in the face of a looming disaster, was that the ideological conflicts of his age were a mirage.
