Hi! I’m Winter. I am currently studying philosophy and classics at Vassar College.

My interest in philosophy is primarily in early modern philosophers such as Spinoza, Hume, and Descartes, although I also enjoy reading ancient Western philosophers, such as Plato and Epicurus.

My interests in classics is primarily in ancient Rome, the Roman Empire, and Latin literature. I am also interested in the continuation of the Roman Empire into the middle ages in the form of the Byzantine Empire.

My favorite art pieces are Landscape with the Fall Of Icarus (1560) and Dutch Proverbs (1559), both by Pieter Bruegel.

My favorite musical artists are Rigël Theatre and MICO.
