We Must Probe It From the Outset (Part 5 of 5)

The following is a series of attached photos sent from Liza to the group. As usual, we publish typed excerpts of these illuminated texts along with the original photo. The best way is to read the text, of course, is to to experience it in its illuminated form.


E. On Peter Maurin

And, of course, all of this reminds me a great deal of Peter Maurin's Easy Essays. To move toward a solution by mobilizing the foundational problem is to personify the notion of radicalism. This is what it means to go down to the roots. This is what it means to create "a new society within the shell of the old with the philosophy of the old, which is not a new philosophy but a very old philosophy, a philosophy so old it looks new. "We don't need a new doctrine, we need a new technique."

F. On What this Means

So, yes. This is my long-winded way of simply saying yes. I agree with you. We must get behind it.
