We are capitalism made flesh.

Socrates was likewise right that pissing people off is how we first, and maybe best, go about the business of provoking thought.

We tend to think of the problems of globalization and cultural identity as peculiar to our times. In fact they are rooted in ancient problems of civic belonging.

Our desires are never wholly transparent, even to ourselves.

All social space is suffused with political meanings and agendas, the very stones and walls a kind of testament to the ongoing struggles for liberation and justices.

I hold to the idea that civility, understood as the willingness to engage in public discourse, is the first virtue of citizens.

Dreams are evidence that we are creatures who produce more meaning than we can ourselves understand.
