  2. A quotation from Montesquieu

    Political virtue is a renunciation of oneself, which is always a very painful thing. One can define this virtue as love of the laws and the homeland. This love, requiring a continuous preference of the public interest over one’s own, produces all the individual virtues; they are only that preference.
     
    [La vertu politique est un renoncement à soi-même, qui est toujours une chose très-pénible. On peut définir cette vertu, l’amour des loix & de la patrie. Cet amour, demandant une préférence continuelle de l’intérêt public au sien propre, donne toutes les vertus particulieres: elles ne sont que cette préférence.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
    Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 4, ch. 5 (4.5) (1748) [tr. Cohler/Miller/Stone (1989)]

  4. It's a curiosity of #history that the life of #Siddhartha #Gautama, the historical #Buddha, found its way into #medieval #Christian #hagiography as #Barlaam and #Josaphat. The tale shows how #Buddhist themes such as #renunciation, #moral transformation, and spiritual #awakening, were reframed across languages and faiths. Find out more about this fascinating cross-cultural transmission:

  5. Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
    White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.

    October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.

    Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."

  6. Is it still "viraaga" (detachment, dispassion) if all someone wants is to just make the best dang slides on deeply technical topics?

    Asking for a friend of course. 😆
