Fallen Into Knowledge

Walmart is at it Again.

You see they can’t pay more (even though their wages are several dollars an hour under the wages that their competition pays), because they have to stay competitive.  If they are to succeed, they have to pay as little as possible.  The question is:  who exactly benefits from this arrangement?

It is amazing how things fall together.  The lecture tonight by David Tracy  touched on themes that I am thinking about in many of my classes:  Nietzsche’s use of Tragedy, Milton’s making of a “Christian Tragedy,” the problem of the Other, Virtue Ethics, etc.  Amazing.  The upshot?  the Tragic vision is about Awe of Life and Compassion for the Other.
