Here we’re going to briefly look at his concept of anxiety. ![]() But his radical views on faith, religious commitment and the individual, and his rejection of a conformist, passive, rationalist, dispassionate, inauthentic approach towards the religious life and the infinite, make him a true existentialist. ![]() Existentialism is undoubtedly as much rooted in Kierkegaard’s militant, idiosyncratic Christianity as it is in the ‘God is dead’ proto-existentialism of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. Many of the central themes and concepts of existentialism – freedom, choice, responsibility, bad faith, anxiety, despair, and absurdity – originated in the writings of Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55), in such ground-breaking works as Either-Or (1843), Fear and Trembling (1843), The Concept of Anxiety (1844) and The Sickness Unto Death (1849). ![]() SUBSCRIBE NOW Existentialism & Life Kierkegaard: Young, Free & Anxious Gary Cox considers the problematic side of freedom, from the edge of a cliff. ![]() ![]() ![]() The title character is Samantha "Sammy" Joyce, a twenty-six-year-old staffer on Capitol Hill. "Also, you're always writing for someone else's character and story, and I really wanted to develop my own."

To compile the story-which takes plenty of unexpected twists and flips some conventional wisdom on its head-Miller combed through more than three-thousand oral histories from formerly enslaved people and reams of historical newspapers. In his new book, Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue, Miller turns his attention to the grand tradition of smoked meat as it exists in America. ![]() Miller is an attorney, former White House staffer and a James Beard Award-winning author of Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time.

In chapters about dining out, visiting museums, and pursuing knowledge, we begin to see how the moments we have to ourselves-on the road or at home-can be used to enrich our lives. Through On-the-ground Reporting And Recounting The Experiences Of Artists, Writers, And Innovators Who Cherished Solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom Considers How. Walking through four cities-Paris, Florence, Istanbul, and New York-and four seasons, Alone Time gives us permission to pause, to relish the sensual details of the world rather than hurtling through museums and uploading photos to Instagram. Through on-the-ground reporting, insights from social science, and recounting the experiences of artists, writers, and innovators who cherished solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom considers how traveling alone deepens appreciation for everyday beauty, bringing into sharp relief the sights, sounds, and smells that one isn´t necessarily attuned to in the presence of company. Yet a little time to ourselves can be an opportunity to slow down, savor, and try new things, especially when traveling. ![]() In our hectic, hyperconnected lives, many people are uncomfortable with the prospect of solitude. ![]() A wise, passionate account of the pleasures of traveling solo ![]() ![]() ![]() These novels, mainly known as ‘MC’ romance titles, look at the tough world of motorcycle gangs, focusing on the hard-boiled lifestyles of many of the people involved in it. ![]() Taking a more gritty approach to the contemporary romance genre, she largely takes a look at the subgenre of the ‘motorcycle romance’ genre.

So I knew why Zimbabwe was called out in the song, who Mugabe was, and how his political organization, ZANU, beat back the British colonial forces, just as I knew about the New Afrikan People’s Organization in the U.S. I was raised a child of leftist intellectuals. ![]() In “Master Blaster," Wonder sings, “Peace has come to Zimbabwe / Third World's right on the one / Now's the time for celebration / 'Cause we've only just begun.” It's a party song, and a revolutionary one. Before he was a despot, he was a freedom fighter. Not over Mugabe’s death, but over his loss. And I was listening to it, nostalgically, the day before I heard that the former and first Zimbabwean prime minister, Robert Mugabe, had died. My favorite song from that album was “Master Blaster.” Like most people, I imagine, I called it “Jammin,’” from its refrain, “Nobody ever told you that you / would be jammin’ until the break of dawn.” A reggae-influenced jubilant song, it makes you want to dance and laugh. ![]() I turned eight the year Stevie Wonder’s album Hotter Than July was released. ![]() |
