A Tale of a Prisoner
A prisoner confined in body may still feel free in mind. Through Foucault's account of power, language, and discourse, this essay locates freedom in the act of resisting the limits within which reality is conceived.

Toward a Feminist Critique of Patriarchal Mythopoesis: Counter-Logocentric Subjectivities and Biopolitical Embodiment in Cutrufelli, Carson and Doyle
Literature rewrites the myths that made women "ungrammatical" subjects. Through Carson's doubled Helen and Cutrufelli's four mothers, can auto/myth/biography restore women's epistemic agency, and reimagine surrogacy as a collective act?

Between Self and Space: Dignity, Alterity, and the Modern Condition of Freedom and Reason in our Society
Pascal locates dignity in thought, but society invented the very concept of dignity. Drawing on Levinas's "face of the Other," this essay shows how digital life dissolves the ethical encounter, and why identity and alterity must be held together.

The Great Experiment of ‘Order’: A Devil’s Case for ‘Chaos’
Is political order humanity's noble achievement, or an illusion masking our inherent disorder? Adopting a devil's advocate stance, this essay draws on Hobbes, Plato, Hegel, Camus, and entropy to argue that chaos is the true order of things. It proposes resignation over revolt, accepting that all political structures eventually decline.
Philosophy of Power
Political philosophy

Victim of Society or Freed for Anarchy?
Is anarchism a liberation from domination, or merely its mirror image? Reading Ibargüengoitia and Nietzsche, this essay traces social order to the primitive will to power, and locates the oppressor's fear in the strength of the different. It concludes that true anarchy is not the overthrow of norms, but the self-owned rejection of inherited values.
