 Public Reason "is a new blog for political philosophers and theorists. The purpose of the blog is to create an open forum for the academic political philosophy and theory community where we can discuss our common work. Academic blogging has undergone a remarkable growth lately. A group blog, in particular, can be used as a tool to continue the conversations that begin on the journal pages and in the conference halls.
There are two types of user status at Public Reason: participants and members.
Participants have the ability to comment on posts. To register as a participant, you must be affiliated with an academic institution in some way. For instance, present or former students of political thought may register and participate in discussion. To register as a participant at the site, please follow this link. Please keep in mind that your registration may take some time to be approved.
Participants are expected to abide by the norms of civil intellectual engagement and may only publish comments under their full names. Public Reason reserves the right to rescind the status of any participant.
Members of the site have the ability to post a variety of items directly to the front page. These include:
Literature discussions. Start a discussion about a recent journal article.
Reading groups. Work through a book chapter by chapter with colleagues.
Working papers. Upload or link to working papers and receive feedback.
Conference announcements. Post information about forthcoming conferences or calls for papers.
Fellowship announcements. Advertise upcoming fellowship application deadlines to a broader audience.
Teaching discussions. Post ideas or questions about conveying theoretical concepts in the classroom.
General issues. Raise an issue of academic interest not sufficiently addressed in the literature.
To register as a member, you must be a bona fide professional academic political philosopher or theorist and have completed your doctoral studies in a relevant discipline.
Those interested in joining the site as members should either register or send an email to admin at publicreason.net. In both cases, please include a link to your faculty or academic staff webpage (or otherwise attest to your membership in a professional academic organisation such as, for instance, the American Philosophical Association, the Association for Political Theory, or the Political Studies Association in Britain).
Both participants and members must be logged in to comment.
Public Reason especially welcomes contributions from women, members of historically under-represented groups, and academics from non-Anglophone countries."

Modern mental health and psychology both ignore the Esoteric dimensions of Man. This means that not one in a thousand "psychologists" today "know" what the MIND is? Since the term "mental" refers to the MIND, one would imagine an inability to know what the MIND is would be "disqualifying". And yet, it is not disqualifying, and in fact, someone like myself who studies the Esoteric dimensions of Man [which means Life as well] is thought to be naive, and disqualified because I speak of that which others fear [although they do not realize they fear the "unknown" within themselves... which includes their own MINDs. My point? Only those who fear the Truth would insure against its disclosure.
