Rightly Considered

   “For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time,
   does not make a man blessed and happy.”^[1]

Sourcing & Standards

Eastern Orthodox dogma and theology: first, the ground.
Orthodox philosophy: under that ground.
Classical philosophy: in its due measure.
Modern knowledge: last — a falsifier, never final proof.
Where certainty ends, we qualify and say so plainly.

Under Construction

Young, and building. Fields being cultivated. Articles sourced, argued, and reviewed — and the editor's door is open.

Notes

↑ Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics I.7, trans. W. D. Ross.
