Dr. John's Journal: Friday Philosophy

Friday, February 4, 2011

Today's quotation comes from the ancient Chinese thinker Mencius (372 BC-289 BC):

"All people have the common desire
to be elevated in honor, but all people
have something still more elevated in
themselves without knowing it."

John Hajduk: Dillon, Montana; I am a history professor who grew up in Western New York, but now find myself teaching in Western Montana. My primary areas of interest and research are in American cultural history, especially in relation to the intersection of popular culture and politics. This blog is primarily to help me keep in touch with my far-flung family and friends, and give me the chance to spout off a bit on whatever happens to be on my mind.
