Amy Taubin suggests that earlier texts like Prime Suspect convey a message that women are…

In A View From The Bridge, Miller presents masculinity in varying degrees through different, somewhat contrasting characters. He explores the idea of masculinity not being a set cast, and how different characters have different aspects of masculinity, be it brute…

In the light of my previous discussion of philosophy as a spiritual practice, I argue that spiritual pretenses are our bridge pretenses.
