Issue 149 has a theme of political philosophy. Dan Corjescu compares some theories about the causes of peace – always useful in a time of war. John Irish relates Locke’s social contract theory to a creepy story about a fatal lottery. Gustavo Dalaqua writes on cultural colonialism and aesthetics, and Stefan Catana on three rebel thinkers: Max Weber, Herbert Marcuse and Malcolm X.

Also in this issue: How Nozick’s ‘experience machine’ thought experiment casts light on Facebook’s Metaverse. How Gilles Deleuze’s notion of the ‘dividual’ can help us think about the controversial data-crunching that caught a serial killer. Why life is pretty good, despite everything. And why seeking truth requires a return to some ancient virtues. Finally, we have an article on the life and lively ideas of Diogenes the Cynic.
