Ideas & Inquiry

Philosophy, theology, history, and the history of ideas — followed wherever they lead.


This is the humanities and historical side of the archive. Subjects wander freely — philosophy and theology, Coptic studies and Egyptology, the Great Books, the history of science and education, and the occasional intellectual rabbit hole. Nothing here is forced into rigid categories; tags and collections do the organizing.

The Independent Scholar

Curiosity without a curriculum.

A personal record of things studied, built, repaired, collected, questioned, and occasionally understood.

Set in EB Garamond, Libre Baskerville, and IBM Plex Mono. Designed in the spirit of a Renaissance notebook read by the light of an electronics bench.
