Making Sense of Destruction
December 31, 2021 | By Justin Ferrugia TD ‘23+1
Affliction plays a complicated role in the Christian worldview. We are naturally predisposed to fear it. Pain, suffering, and danger elicit some of the most profound physiological responses in all animals. Human beings, however, are unique in our ability to reason with, deeply understand, and rationally attempt to avoid affliction in our lives. The gift we possess to relate rationally to the world around us magnifies our ability to deeply understand and be impacted by our afflictions.
Emotional Enlightenment
December 31, 2021 | By Hannah Turner, BK ‘23+1
The concepts Karl Marx did not grasp led to the downfall of communism, but may also lead to the magnification of our societal understanding. He believed that there must be an enlightenment of the proletariat for the realization of the bourgeoisie’s exploitation of them. A revolt would follow. Finally, once the proletariat is in control of the state, a communist society would be born. Everyone would live, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
