Note from the editor
An online philosophy magazine, delivered monthly. Epoché is for the curious and thoughtful. It is our hope that every piece can provide genuine food for thought. True to the name, Epoché does not attempt to solve all of the problems (or even the all of a single problem), to think everything or say it all, but, rather, to use the wealth of concepts present in the labor of philosophy, ancient, modern, and new, to provide fragments of clarity, moments of pause; small machines made of words to modulate the obstinately unproblematic surface of the common sense. Tolstoy’s “shot of vodka” ideal of the short story, or a gasp of nitrous oxide. In short: Philosophy.
