The New Humanities. In August of last year the psychologist Steven Pinker took to the pages of the New Republic to defend the relevance of science to “humanistic scholarship.”. Science, he wrote, is “of a piece with philosophy, reason, and Enlightenment humanism,” and should accordingly be recognized as contributing to investigationsPATTERN RECOGNITION
The authors list various ways that pattern recognition aided in the survival of early humans: zebra stampedes signal predators, dark clouds signal rain, and some foods are edible while others are poisonous. But not all apparent patterns are meaningful—many odd-seeming sequences of events are mere coincidences. WHO WANTS TO PLAY THE STATUS GAME? Who Wants to Play the Status Game? SHARE.

The first public burial on Hart Island was carried out one hundred and fifty years ago, on April 20, 1869. Louisa Van Slyke is thought to have been an orphan and an immigrant.

DEATH IS NOT THE END Hal’s answer is a tragic one. Preceding the frame of the novel is the suicide via microwave of Hal’s father, an avant-garde filmmaker, world-class alcoholic and the founder of Ennett Tennis Academy. Hal discovers what is left of his dead dad in the kitchen, but refuses to speak about it with his mother or therapist.ANSELM KIEFER

IS PLAGIARISM WRONG? Academia is an honor-culture, in which recognition—in the form of citations—serves as a kind of ersatz currency.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century Hegel wrote that every philosopher is a child of his time and none can jump over his own shadow: every philosophy, then, is “its time grasped in a concept.”. In the twentieth century Adorno took up this idea again when he spoke of the irreducible “kernel of timeAGAINST ADVICE
Against Advice. SHARE. This is the fourth in a series of columns on public philosophy by Agnes Callard; read more here. We live in a glorious era of podcasting, public conversation and boundary-crossing interest in niche academic areas. It’s a great time to be a public intellectual, except for one thing: the part of the interview known asthe
S. G. BELKNAP, AUTHOR AT THE POINT MAGAZINE Lovers in the Hands of a Patient God. It was hard for me to believe, at first, that spiritual debates in the American colonies, say, or the conventions of mass-market storytelling could tell me anything about my love life. But they did. How had I missed it? Probably because what they have to offer is so counterintuitive,and maybe even somethingANSELM KIEFER
Anselm Kiefer was born in Germany in 1945, and like many of his generation his art involves a reckoning with the war and Nazism. In the postwar period there was a tendency among the German public at large toward the willful repression of the horrors of the Nazi era, provoking a countermovement toward Vergangenheitsbewältigung—roughly

The Point is a magazine of philosophical writing that embodies two distinct but complementary convictions: on the one hand, that humanistic thinking has relevance for contemporary life; on the other, that our lives are full of experiences worth thinking about. We welcome submissions for our print journal, which is published three times a year, and for our website, which is updated continuously. “DO NOT ASK ME WHO I AM” We just can’t seem to shake Foucault. The French philosopher, loathed or loved, has not dimmed in significance since his death ofAIDS in 1984.
WHO WANTS TO PLAY THE STATUS GAME? Who Wants to Play the Status Game? SHARE. This is the twelfth in a series of columns on public philosophy by Agnes Callard; read more here. When you first meet someone, you “feel each other out” to see where your lives might connect—where are you from, what do you do, what music/art/books do you like, etc. You are looking for commonHART ISLAND
The first public burial on Hart Island was carried out one hundred and fifty years ago, on April 20, 1869. Louisa Van Slyke is thought to have been an orphan and an immigrant. The only facts about her that survive are that she was born at sea and that she was 24 years old when she died at Manhattan’s Charity Hospital.CAPITALISM AT DUSK
Capitalism at Dusk. SHARE. In today’s political climate, objections to what is generally if not very precisely called “capitalism” frequently concern the ever-widening inequalities in income that are the effects of the current forms of late capitalism (especially ever less regulated, “American-style” capitalism), the exploitative use GETTING ANIMALS IN VIEW Animals also seem to pop in and out of our moral view. Most people would agree that it is wrong to hurt or kill a non-human animal without a good reason, but then it turns out that any reason, short of malicious pleasure, is reason enough. We want to eat the animal, and to raise her cheaply for that purpose; we can learn from doingexperiments
DEATH IS NOT THE END Hal’s answer is a tragic one. Preceding the frame of the novel is the suicide via microwave of Hal’s father, an avant-garde filmmaker, world-class alcoholic and the founder of Ennett Tennis Academy. Hal discovers what is left of his dead dad in the kitchen, but refuses to speak about it with his mother or therapist.ANSELM KIEFER

IS PLAGIARISM WRONG? Academia is an honor-culture, in which recognition—in the form of citations—serves as a kind of ersatz currency. In ancient Greek, there is a word “pleonexia,” which means “grasping after more than your share.”. Plagiarism norms encourage pleonectic overreach. One can see such overreach in the fact that those with perfect job * The Point Magazine* Current Issue
