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.

New Religion (1)—Everything
A year ago on Round and Square (18 March 2012)—Hurtin' Country: Tell Me My Lyin' Eyes Are Wrong
As we start our third year on Round and Square, we have a new twist. Every week, I will be writing a column on Chinese religion for the British website New Religion—Religion, Politics, Analysis. That means that I will have a post every week with a picture (as above), a very brief description, and a link to the website. Please check it out. It's a small step toward reaching a wider audience and engaging with ideas that are important in a changing world.
Most weeks, my column will be posted on Wednesdays.
