Mission Statement & Acknowledgements

This year's edition is once again dedicated to and in memory of Hank Bedingheld, who not only paved the way for this volume of Anamnesis but also enriched the lives and philosophic hearts of those around him.

Anamnesis is the student-edited philosophy journal of Colorado College. The journal publishes philosophical undergraduate essays from colleges and universities worldwide. Colorado College students founded the journal in order to give their peers a taste of what the discipline can be at its best. In line with this goal, we aim to publish clearly written, elegantly argued essays. We also strive to publish essays that tackle the most interesting, dithcult, and pressing issues in both philosophy and our lives.

We would like to thank Cutler Publications and the Colorado College Philosophy Department for making the journal possible this year. Special thanks to Karen West, Zeke Lloyd, Sienna Busby, Helen Daly, Doug Edlin, Alberto Hernandez-Lemus and Jonathan Lee for their support.

We would also like to acknowledge that Colorado College is located within the unceded territory of the Ute Peoples.
