The Mission
Historically, people have searched for meaning in literary works. From The Bible to Dante, Aristotle to Newton, humanity’s purpose was the untangling of the mystery that is our reality. All efforts were made in the service of this ultimate goal, the by-product of which was a life rich in meaning and human flourishing. The goal of this newsletter is to attempt to rediscover the forgotten truths that our ancestors made explicit in their works, and examine the ways in which we can find meaning and joy in all aspects of our everyday lives.
I will be studying the fields of psychology and the natural sciences as well as philosophical movements that influenced societies and set mankind on a course hitherto undreamt of. By looking at the great ancient civilizations we notice that the natural sciences were tightly bound to philosophy, religion and art. Today we have forgotten how all disciplines offer pieces of the puzzle that is reality. Philosophy, psychology, and the natural sciences intersect in magnificent ways so much so that it becomes apparent that there is a common thread connecting all kinds of knowledge that ultimately leads to wisdom.
A disclaimer is necessary at this point: While I am by no means a definitive expert on any of these topics (some even less than others), I will nonetheless be offering my opinions based on my readings and personal experiences in a non-preaching manner. I believe we’ve had enough “experts” and preachers in modern society. More calm and reasonable voices are necessary. I will honour this statement to the best of my abilities while not shying away from firmly supporting undeniable truths.
Enjoy!
