Universal and personal.

“This piece is a broad examination of the course of Western Philosophical and Political thought. The piece begins with Ancient Greek Philosophy and concludes with present day Post-Modernism. I hoped to illuminate the many people who have influenced me and my thinking and also how they have and continue to influence society as a whole.”
