Media Reviews
"[Mathewes-Green] sets out to introduce Orthodoxy to the everyday reader....[T]he book, a veritable users guide to Orthodoxy, helps even the most humble neophyte recognize what is going on. Her language is wonderful-not too preachy, not at all evangelical, and never sappy." -- Michael Spinella

Act Two examines historical philosophers from a Seinfeldian standpoint and offers "Plato or Nietzsche? Time, Essence, and Eternal Recurrence in Seinfeld." Act Three, "Untimely Meditations by the Water Cooler, " explores philosophical issues raised by the show, such as, Is it rational for George to "do the opposite"? And Act Four, "Is There Anything Wrong with That?" discusses ethical problems of everyday life using Seinfeld as a basis.
The Sense of the World
by Jean-Luc Nancy
Is there a "world" anymore, much less any "sense" to it? Acknowledging the lack of meaning in our time, and the lack of a world at the center of meanings we try to impose, Jean-Luc Nancy presents a rigorous critique of the many discourses--from philosophy and political science to psychoanalysis and art history--that talk and write their way around these gaping absences in our lives.
