John Maynard Keyes, a British economist, had attended the peace conference but left prematurely as an act of protest against the peace treaty itself. I found this unusual for a member of the Allied powers to react so strongly to a treaty that seemingly would benefit from the agreements made in it. Indeed, Keynes publically decried and critiqued the punitive nature of the Treaty of Versailles through his writings. He Continue reading...

On ‘Vermeer in Bosnia’ and ‘The Lives of a Flaneur’

If one would examine Aleksandar Hemon’s “The Lives of a Flaneur” and Lawrence Weschler’s “Vermeer in Bosnia,” the most glaring similarity is that they both recount the war in Bosnia and to such extent, its after-effects. However, if we were to go beyond what is obvious, we would be able to notice that both essays talks about the resiliency of humans in the face of extreme pressure. Hemon demonstrated this by what he saw after the war as well as through the attitudes of the people around him upon his return to Saravejo, Bosnia’s capital city. Continue reading...

Even though fascism touted itself as a movement based on national and social unity and homogeneity, the fractures within fascist totalitarianism as a result to religious, regional, economic, political, social, and cultural differences convey the dissonance between fascist practices and rhetoric. Robert Paxton locates fascism’s beginnings in a series of intellectual, cultural, emotional, political, social, and economic challenges unique to Europe in the early twentieth century (Paxton, 2004, p. 55). Fears over modernity, Bolshevism, and bourgeois indulgences converged with increasing nationalism, mass politics, and an eager youth. Though early fascist rhetoric indicated an aversion to capitalism and individualism, Continue reading...

Different philosophers approached the concept of governance from specific angles. Specifically, Niccolò Machiavelli approaches this topic from the practical and cynical standpoint by implying, “any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good” (Machiavelli and Marriott 38). This statement can be interpreted as a recommendation to the leaders to refrain from good deeds in an intention to execute excellence. As Machiavelli considers, the majority of people are far from being good or are able to manifest excellence. Consequently, an individual, who managed to achieve a high level of moral excellence, will become a threat to others. Machiavelli advises the leaders to learn how not to be good and use knowledge only when it is required in order to retain authority (Machiavelli and Marriott 38). Machiavelli has a cynical approach to governance by claiming that good people usually lose to the wicked ones, as their methods and abilities are limited. According to this approach, bad people have a huge advantage over the good ones since they are able to do whatever it takes to attain their goals.

The concepts of self and self- reliance became most notable in New England in the 18th century when Puritans became interested in the acquisition of education more than anything else. The Puritans were keen on acquiring education so as to question some of the fundamental principles that governed belief in the existence of God. And it is through their quest that early literature documented the need for them to become self-reliant and to know and understand the self. At the time, life was considered a test that could either lead to condemnation or eternal success. Most written works of Continue reading...
