Fish is preceptive in clarifying why a mind uncommitted to any pre-conceived notions can not think at all. He argues that those who would belittle religion usually have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the New York Times Stanley Fish reviews Reason, Faith and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate by British cultural critic Terry Eagleton. In the battle of the gods, old and new, it has become fashionable to regard religion as a throw back and reactionary impulse that stands in the way of progress. Eagleton challenges [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a New York Times article about how some people are growing up on prescribed mood altering drugs. This is creating a whole generation of people who don&#8217;t know who they are without them. The article doesn&#8217;t seem to understand the pervasiveness of this beyond those who &#8220;really need it.&#8221; Modern society has convinced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To start the new year fresh we need the gift of forgetting. We all know that it&#8217;s hard to go on if you keep reliving the past. The admonishment to forget contradicts every thing else we are told. We are reminded to remember where we came from, to remember those fallen in battle, and to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an article from the The New York Times on the social influence philosopher Ayn Rand has had on American business.

Rand advocated for an individual&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
