Disabled people are experts in innovation and adaptation, experts in building networks of support and knowledge sharing, and experts in navigating a world that is not built for them. This expertise is not a niche form of knowledge, but one that speaks to a fundamental...
The Letter to the Hebrews is a confounding book in the New Testament. For one, it is not really a letter. Nor is the author of this indistinctly-titled letter named or identified. In fact, many of the rudimentary questions surrounding its intended audience, date, and...
Like many famous figures from antiquity, we must work through layers of fantasy in order to uncover the life of Poppaea Sabina (c. 30-65 CE). As the ancient sources tell it, Poppaea pushed the young emperor Nero to murder his mother, execute his wife Octavia, marry her...
Topic theory examines the lexicon of conventions that emerged in the late eighteenth century through which composers evoked dances, marches, hunting, the pastoral, and the supernatural. While scholars have explored ad hoc applications of the theory in later repertories,...

Varieties of Happiness critically examines the widespread belief that Greek ethics is a distinctive type of ethical theory labeled "eudaimonist." Plainly, if a theory is eudaimonist, then the notion of eudaimonia must play a crucial role. Iakovos Vasiliou argues,...
Boredom is a common human experience. It may strike us as straightforward—a mere absence or lack, an emotional emptiness of sorts—yet it is anything but simple. It is complicated: personal and social, biological and cultural, both ever-changing and constant. It can spur...
In many ways, the virtue of courage seems to be one of the most ubiquitous and simple virtues, and that apparent simplicity may result in courage garnering less attention than many other virtues. Another reason could be the ancient focus on courage as a masculine and...
