As the philosophy columnist for the Brief, I seek to break down philosophical ideas and ground them in our everyday lives, connecting theory to the moments unfolding right in front of us. Philosophy, as I approach it, is not meant to live solely in footnotes or abstract arguments, but in the texture of ordinary experience—in moments of hesitation, in the habits we follow without question and in the quiet realizations that surface when we stop long enough to notice them. By translating complex ideas into accessible language, I hope to show readers that philosophy is not distant or intimidating, but deeply human and relevant in our everyday existence. My writing is driven by a belief that philosophy becomes most meaningful when it meets us where we are—amid uncertainty, contradiction and change. Ultimately, I hope my writing gives readers permission to slow down and linger with a piece, allow space for contemplation in a world that often demands quick opinions and clear answers. The readers should not leave with conclusions neatly tied up but with a heightened sense of curiosity and an openness to ambiguity. My goal is to cultivate reflection as a practice, one that feels gentle, accessible and quietly transformative.
