When he discovers his ability to time travel, Evan alters his past only to find out it damaged his future. Despite…

This quote from Eric Weiner’s travel narrative, The Geography of Bliss, epitomizes an American perspective on thinking. Before his travels pursuing happiness, Weiner never had to consider what thinking did, or does, emotionally. Like many Americans, I find my perspective to be limited in that we Americans do not naturally consider how our thinking is affecting our own happiness. In his book, Weiner finds that other countries have views very contradictory to ours at home. Weiner even points out…

The catch is, destroying the main force does not always end the fighting. In The Moon is Down, the army defeats the town but do not control the people. In Animal Farm, the animals chase away the humans only for the pigs to take their place. Just because they win, it does not mean there are not going to be future battles. “‘Conquest…

It is, however, hardly surprising that science took this path. It would be rather simplistic to say that all of this comes from Descartes, though his influence on the way in which animals are conceived within Western thought was by no means trivial in its impact. Within this framework exists the claim that humans have the right to dominate and control animals, both conceptually and physically. If the question of governance can be posed as “‘how not to be governed like that, by that, in the name…
