*Debbienote: Time for the infamous Karl Marx. I don’t know the author of the book on Sexual Assault that I quoted, but I know the book is titled “Campus Sexual Assault Response Teams.” That particular chapter has an author mentioned, John Wesley Lowery, Ph.D. The Karl Marx works included the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 (in part) – on Alienated Labor (or in this document, “Estranged Labor” starting on page 28). The quote at the bottom, however, is taken from Chapter I of the Manifesto of the Communist Party.

I apologize for not posting much lately. I’ve been pretty busy lately. I have a story to tell you about the Clothesline Project we did this past week.

*Debbienote: For this post, the assigned readings were “On Liberty” by John Stuart Mill and “Discourse and Truth: The Problematization of Parrhesia” by Michel Foucault. Basically, they talked about what it means to be truly free – in speech, and otherwise. Another book that I would recommend, for the sake of background information, is “Discipline and Punishment” by Michel Foucault, which sort of goes into detail about his point of view regarding liberty and how liberty sort of “evolved.”

*Debbienote: The first reading assignment here was the first three chapters of John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty.” The second reading assignment was Epictetus’ “Handbook (Enchiridion)“, which is a quick and easy read that I highly recommend for everyone. It’s very peaceful, almost zen-like reading. I also mentioned the Handbook in this post.

*Debbienote: Here, I sort of drew from the Anselm and Aquinas works when I was referencing the works to follow. In this post, while I reference both Anselm and Aquinas (the latter moreso than the former), I am mostly referencing Pascal’s Wager, which is part of his larger Pensees (Section III, part 233) and Nietzsche’s infamous Birth of Tragedy (to which I cannot find a link, only a synopsis) and The Gay Science (Aphorism 125: The madman). In passing, I also mention Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism, which, if you’ll recall, I blogged on more in depth in my “Definitions of Madness.” If you read none of those, I suggest you read “Aphorism 125: The madman,” or at least the Pensees (Pascal’s Wager is incredibly famous in atheist and Christian discussions alike).
