		<description><![CDATA[By Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D. You may have offended your friend; you&#8217;re not sure. You feel like apologizing. But if the insult didn&#8217;t even register, then you&#8217;ll open the very can of worms you&#8217;re trying to close. Still, if your friend is offended and fuming, you&#8217;d really better fix it. Should you say something? Another friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All philosophy is &#8220;footnotes to Plato,&#8221; or so said philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. He was exaggerating, but I will say this. All human life (including this year&#8217;s elections) plays out Plato&#8217;s most famous story, but with two divergent endings. You have probably heard about Plato&#8217;s cave. Even if you haven&#8217;t, if you&#8217;ve seen The Matrix, [...]]]></description>
