  • Unanswerable Questions
    Andrew P. Porter / Andrew PPorter

Instead, I would say that transcendence is about unanswerable questions, and unanswerable questions arise naturally in human life. We deal with them without answering them (or answer them only with irony), for example, in the comic strips, but philosophers are usually loath to admit that th...

  • The Trial of Blood
    Andrew (Andy) Porter Brown
    In 55 years of teaching in both high school and college, I’ve always wondered why American history is presented the way it is.

I went to a writing seminar conduc...
