Marist Undergraduate Philosophy Journal Vol VII 2024

A Letter from the Editor

Dear reader,

I am excited to present to you, volume VII of Diotima. First and foremost, congratulations to the editorial board for their work on another great volume. I am always thankful for their contributions and advice; the journal would not be possible without them. When brainstorming ideas about our cover design, some of our board members talked about their in-class discussion about the muses. They are a point of inspiration and representation of so many different fields and forms of knowledge. Thus, we were in turn inspired and thought that a muse would be a great starting point for this volume. Ava McCann, a fine arts student at Marist, created our cover. She took inspiration from Ancient Greek pottery in her design. Thanks to her, our original vision was put to beautiful use and turned out better than we imagined. Furthermore, thank you to Dr. Carolina Sartorio for her insight. Please, read to the end to hear some of the questions she answered for us. It is always nice to hear the opinion of a professional philosopher paired with the inspiring work of undergraduates. This issue has an interesting breadth of topics, from art to ecosabotage, exemplifying the great work of current students, and the voices of philosophy majors today. Thanks to our great contributors for sharing their knowledge with us. I hope you enjoy reading our seventh volume!

Sincerely,

Lily Jandrisevits
