In early Chinese thought, heaven was considered "round" and earth "square." Westerners from St. Anselm to Kant taught that round and square are opposites. I will explore the connections between east and west (round and square) in a blog that takes seriously the little details of our lives. Round and square; east and west—never the twain shall meet (it has been said). Except when they do, and that is the whole point of this blog.

Cultural and Intellectual History Tweets—Resource Center
Welcome
to the
Resource Center for the Round and Square series "Cultural and Intellectual History Tweets"
About once a week I will write a little 140-character message about cultural and intellectual history. Just to make it a little different, I'll follow that with a haiku and a recipe. You have to see it to believe.
Cultural and Intellectual History Tweets—Introduction This is where you start if you want an overview and explanation of the series.
