Now, it becomes a matter of great practical importance that we should know how to deal wisely with these men. Upon the whole, I think these are the best men in the country. I speak of my own country. I speak of the universities with which I am familiar, and I say that the men who are perplexed — the men who come ...

What am I doing in this career? was a question Rebecca Hitchcock faced after years of working in the fashion industry. So many years in a space that defined one's value and worth by their appearance had taken a toll. The superficiality of her job led her to dig back into the roots of her childhood faith. She wanted more, and before she knew it, found herself leading a Bible study of women who wanted the same. What she didn't expect was to uncover multiple biblical truths that she hadn't been taught in church.

Real life is change itself, a ceaseless flow of creative forces expressed in ever-new forms. So, our inability to make a fresh start isn't because life refuses us what we need to succeed.

Do we need the rules of religion in order to be good people? The German philosopher Immanuel Kant tackles this question in his 1793 text Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. More than 200 years later, it is still a key text in the shaping of Western religious thought, as well as Kant's most direct discussion of religious themes. Kant tries to look at religious practices in relation to the Enlightenment movement and its firmly held beliefs in the power of reason and personal liberty.
