  • The Social Self
    Feb 3 2022

    Free me from my fellows, let me alone to work out the salvation of my own glorious self, and surely (so I may fancy) I shall now for the first time show who I am. No, not so; on the contrary I merely show in such a case who I am not. I am no longer friend, brother, companion, co-worker, servant, citizen, father, son; I exist for nobody; and erelong, perhaps to my surprise, generally to my horror, I discover that I am nobody.

    Written by Josiah Royce

  • William Allen Address at the Populist National Convention, July 22, 1896
    Jan 28 2022

    No one has thus far defined the “middle of the road.” We inscribe it on our banners and yet if you will ask a man for a definition no two will agree. As I understand “middle of the road,” it means that the old party methods of corruption, fraud and ballot-box stuffing, which have been resorted to in securing elections, must be abandoned and a course that is pure, that is lofty, patriotic and just shall be adopted. That is “the middle of the road,” as I understand it.

  • The Morality of the State
    Jan 16 2022

    "Idealism starts from the opposite principle, namely, that the good of the individual is identical with the good of the community. It is held to be man's nature that he cannot find permanent satisfaction except in identifying his personal good with the good of the community."

    Written by John Watson

  • Rights and Duties, Duties and Rights
    Jan 8 2022

    Rights are not creatures of the physical laws of the universe. Instead, we must recognize them for what they are- social constructs, socially negotiated. And, like most things in our society, the discussion around rights has become extremely imbalanced, shallow, and incurious.

  • Will it Destroy Individuality
    Jan 1 2022
    The only individuality worth having is that full and rounded culture of body, mind, and soul, which brings out in each human being the utmost of which he is capable. Thus only, is he individualized; thus only, is he differentiated from his kind. Any system which does not cultivate such a manhood, or at least afford to every man the opportunity and incentive to do it for himself, has no right to invoke the sacred name of Individuality.   Written by Charles Chadbourne Narrated by Joshua Noyer   Read Along: https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/will-it-destroy-individuality

  • Better to Dance with the Devil
    Dec 21 2021

    American history is full of its brutalities and negative aspects. However, if the contemporary world has taught us anything, it's that present day Americans believe in absolutely nothing.
