A few insights from one of our finest thinkers:

These are not just simple musings by a philosopher. Kass lives what he philosophizes.

It was there that I learned how to think critically, how to construct an argument, and especially how to take responsibility for that argument.

Kass makes a simple statement that contains profound wisdom and depth: “Lovers, we know, are face to face,” he writes. “Friends are side by side. What kind of ‘being together’ are we fashioning in cyberspace and on our screens?”
