Abstract

In the fourth volume of Anamnesis, we decided to organize essays around the theme of “Perspectives.” This decision was inspired by a desire to accommodate essays that are not thought of as traditionally within the discipline of philosophy, but still follow a philosophical line of thought. Our goal in this issue is to challenge the reader’s conception of the role of philosophy in everyday life. Philosophy is too often written off as inaccessible or even irrelevant outside the realm of academia. With “Perspectives,” we hope to emphasize the ways in which individual subjective experience can be understood philosophically. We aim to break out of tradition and highlight different directions in which undergraduates are taking philosophical concepts. We begin the issue with an essay by Matt Rosen, a sophomore at Colorado College, who we hope will inspire readers to reconsider the significance of progressive political philosophy. Following this, we have Amanda Pinto’s essay on ableism in the college classroom, which is a fresh perspective on an issue many of us have grown too familiar with. Max Chiaramonte provides us with our third essay, which complicates our relationship with videogames by looking at them through the lens of object-oriented ontology. Finally, we conclude with an interview with Sharon Krishek, who offers a unique perspective on the role of Kierkegaard’s philosophy of love and faith in today’s world. As this publication continues to grow, we hope it will attract students who are inspired by the diversity of perspectives our world has to offer. Thank you to everyone who submitted, and to those who helped us through the production process. We are excited to see where Anamnesis goes in the future. This volume included "In Praise of Welcoming: Remarks on the Ethics of Politics" by Matt Rosen, "University Classroom Access: A Curricular Criphystemology of Anxiety" by Amanda Pinto, and "Heaven on Our Screens: Video Games as the Garden of Eden" by Max Chiaramonte.
