Up and Going
Get PDFThe rooster hasn’t crowed The mister didn’t know For to him, what matters is to work go She has her lantern She has her tools to make the batter For to her, to feed her young is all that matters See as they march to battle They’ll conquer; both great and small don’t belittle For they march on, even in the face of death, so unrattled
The Birth of the Modern1
Get PDFWhen Rodin first felt the looseness of the white Dominican robe Balzac wore to write in, his hands went still in the clay. He stood for a long while, learning the cloth’s heavy fall, letting it find its way to Balzac’s hands, which would hold the robe closed from within, simplifying the figure until nothing human would be noticed but the head in its defiance of a bronze repose
Servant First or Survival First? How Servant-Leaders Lead During Covid-19
Get PDFThe year 2020 has been most challenging for many people all over the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has left almost no one’s life untouched. George Floyd’s death and other race-related incidents also unsettled the world to its core. Ancient lamentation resonates with us today: “How lonely sits the city that once was full of people” (Lamentations 1:1a, NRSV). The statistics help tell the story of this year. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2020) and Johns Hopkins University & Medicine (2020) has confirmed more than 33 million COVID-19 cases worldwide and more than one million deaths in 216 countries. The United States has more than seven million confirmed cases and more than 200,000 deaths as of September 30, 2020 (Johns Hopkins University & Medicine, 2020; WHO, 2020). Unemployment rate in the U.S. was 3.7% in August 2019 and skyrocketed to 14.7% in April 2020. By August 2020, the rate was down to 8.4%, but the future is uncertain (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020). Among all the struggles and grief, leadership is more important than ever. How do servant-leaders react to this cruel reality? What does holistic leadership look like during a crisis? Should organizations serve first or fight for survival first? Should they prioritize people or profit? Are economic responsibilities really the foundation of a corporate’s social responsibility? How are we going to serve the sick, the broken, the vulnerable, and the forgotten? How are we going to lead with courage, faith, and grace? Do people with different genders lead differently
The Temple of Athena and the Return of the Salmon: Orientations Toward Nature and Meaning in Salishan/Sahaptin/Wakashan (Northwest American Indigenous) and Heideggerian Philosophy
Get PDFIn Origin of the Work of Art, Heidegger presents an evocative claim about the way the Temple to Athena on the Acropolis, opens a world rich with meaning and resonant with significance that orients the Athenian people within reality thus allowing their relations to others and to nature to appear as meaningful and ultimately nourishing. In other words, the Temple, like all great works of art, opens a world that is also a home. This article reviews the import of Heidegger’s reflection on monumental art, but we quickly turn to the principle objection to Heidegger’s thought, which is that the entire venture by which an artistic, religious, or poetic event organizes a world for “a people” is fundamentally illegitimate because of the way it binds individuals to an identity that outgroups the “foreigners” that do not belong to this identity and thus marginalizes them.
This objection is a central motivating force for liberalism, and since World War II, and particularly since the fall of the Soviet Union, has been almost hegemonic in many strands of philosophical thought and the globalized culture more widely. Thus, we see that the objection against Heidegger is primarily ethical and political and concerns not only his philosophy but the central and inter-related phenomenological ideas of the horizon, Lebenswelt, and the world—and thus the very relation of phenomenology itself—to contemporary ethical-political thinking. But because the objections are so strongly rooted in motivations, our phenomenological inquiry into the ‘world’ will have to be supplemented by recourse to hermeneutics

Literary Journals Have Always Been the Place Where Editors Can Take Chances : A Chat with John McNally
