John Dewey
Image
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
John Ruskin
Image
A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?
Jacques Lacan
Image
