Where each thread leads

  • Philosophy

    Literally the love of wisdom: the practice of asking questions carefully enough that the answers can be examined.

  • Heraclitus

    The Greek thinker who argued that change is not what happens to reality but what reality is.

  • Logos

    A Greek word meaning word, account, ratio and reason at once — and one of the most consequential ambiguities in Western thought.

  • Ubuntu

    A Nguni Bantu term for a view of personhood in which a person becomes a person through other people.

  • Life

    Both a biological category with fuzzy edges and the name for the thing we are trying to make sense of.
