There seems to be two philosophical approaches to education. One, most prominently espoused by Gov. Scott Walker, is that higher education should primarily focus on preparing students for their career. The other, particularly embedded within UW-Madison, is that higher education is meant for intellectual exploration, gaining breadth in the liberal arts, becoming “culturally competent” and graduating a “well-rounded” person and citizen.
This is an article about the meaning of life. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t simply announce the theme of a piece from the get-go. I would start with a personal anecdote that leads into the theme of the book I’ll be discussing, and then return to what I took away from the book. In this case, I might talk about seeing a tiny sick mouse sitting motionless in the middle of a crowded sidewalk, coming home to my dog who is now so old she no longer greets me or the death of an acquaintance, and the effect or lack thereof these things had on me. But I think we live at a time where the question of the meaning of life is so frequently mentioned, and so infrequently engaged with seriously, that talking about it almost necessarily invokes clichés and attempts to address the question with personal anecdotes that come off as self-important. And further, rigorous interrogation of the subject often ends with people stubbornly adhering to their intuitions about it or embracing nihilism. Consequently, I think it’s extremely hard for authors to write about the meaning of life in an original and effective way. In “The Principles of Uncertainty”, author and illustrator Maira Kalman succeeds in doing this. While she doesn’t claim to answer existential questions, she portrays this feeling of uncertainty in a simple and profound way.

“Crisis in Six Scenes” is the result of Woody Allen awkwardly attempting to take a stab at television. The very short miniseries (six half-hour episodes or “scenes”) was released Sept. 30 on Amazon Prime’s growing streaming network. The series further emphasizes the shift from Hollywood’s best uprooting from their conventional film brand to experiment with television. After much bribery on Amazon’s part, Allen agreed to take on the project and quickly produced the show. Unfortunately, this perfunctory inception is apparent in the finished product. “Crisis in Six Scenes” has all the charm of a Woody Allen piece, but without the heart.
