Thrilled to publish this brilliant piece by Jane Drexler. Thank you, Jane, for your wisdom and generosity as a teacher, writer, and scholar. I love this: Philosophy matters because it calls on you to learn to see—to see beyond what is given, to see the dazzling “what-is-not” from the “what is” that you have been asked to see; and from that experience to “burst like a star” “from all the borders of your self,” and to change your life.
