On the Truth-Aptness of the Perceived and of the Actual as Inspired by Rorty
Rorty says only descriptions, never the world itself, can be true or false. This essay accepts the premise but resists the leap: no frame of reference can judge what lies outside it, so claims about "the world on its own" remain unfounded.
Philosophical Anthropology
Ethics & Moral philosophy

Nietzsche suggests that following one's conscience is the easy road, and following one's intelligence the hard one. This essay asks what we lose by choosing comfort, and what it takes to live authentically.
