Grief is how we feel – when a loss is a fact (watch the movie here)

Time has changed direction and is now coming from the future

More universal philosophy

ESSAY: Time to learn what the world's many translating female philosophers thought? Or what about the omitted African philosophy? Four books provide a broader understanding of the history of thought.

Libidinous ecology

CRISIS Is nature in its essence erotic? And has capitalism – which will make us desire more of everything – overused our very capacity for desire?
