At Mind and Essence, we take seriously the ramifications that the nature thought has on daily living. Across the ocean of time separating modernity and antiquity, a wealth of ideas have managed to immortalize themselves within the minds and hearts of each generation.

Welcome to a world of exploration. Join us in our project to analyze, contextualize, and rediscover our humanity circumscribed in our philosophical canon.
