At Harvard, Rosen will teach courses on Marxism and contemporary continental thought. He said he sees himself as helping to maintain a cross-Atlantic cultural exchange. “Being able to contribute to an American understanding...

That guy believes he possesses all the answers. Sadly, even when that guy is qualified to handle...

I see my peers with eyes fixed on the writings of Hume and Hegel, and feeling the inevitable pressure not to fall behind, I remain in the library in agony. Sadly, I achieve nothing.
