She was there to conduct research on the lack of resources and budget cuts that regularly face public schools. However, a few months into her immersion, a disturbed Ray recognized that that greatest impediment to students was the “slow violence” that preys on their minds, bodies, and spirits at the hands of teachers and administrators who are charged with their care.

Pour quelles raisons l'intelligence peut-elle conduire à l'idiotie ? Il arrive en effet que des personnes brillantes ou cultivées paraissent parfois stupides ou agissent de manière inepte : en recherchant l'inouï, la performance et la perfection ; en voulant tout comprendre et avoir raison ; en modelant le réel à leur convenance. Affirmer son intelligence au détriment de l'intelligence elle-même : c'est à ce paradoxe que cet ouvrage s'attache, partant du principe que le génie académique ne garantit pas nécessairement la sagesse ni l'ingéniosité dans la vie quotidienne.

Au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, les philosophes vont mener trois combats : les théologiens médiévaux intègrent les valeurs chrétiennes à la philosophie antique ; les philosophes chrétiens et mystiques opposent à la toute-puissance théologique les bienfaits de la philosophie antique ; les humanistes de la Renaissance réenchantent le monde et inspirent le renouveau de la métaphysique. Cet ouvrage cherche à mieux comprendre les relations entre philosophie et christianisme et redécouvre le mystère des penseurs de la Renaissance.

Avec ses racines, son fût et ses branchages, l'arbre relie le ciel, la terre et le monde souterrain. Symbole parfait puisqu'il réunit tous les niveaux du réel, il lie la matière et l'esprit, l'inconscient et le conscient, le réel et le rêve. Synthèse du monde, l'arbre incarne la vie inépuisable, la réalité absolue, le sacré par excellence. Comme la poésie, le langage symbolique crée une passerelle vers les idées les plus puissantes grâce à l'imagination. Loin de la simple rêverie, la voie symbolique donne de l'unité et du sens à nos consciences souvent éparpillées.

Covid alerted the nation to the reality that K-12 schools were infested with ideologues bent on indoctrinating children.
