Happy (Philosophical) Holidays!

"A will whose maxims necessarily harmonize with the laws of autonomy is a holy, absolutely good will." -Immanuel Kant, philosopher

To my friends, all of whom are men and women of good will: may you have peace and eudaimonia this holiday season, and in the year ahead.
