What The Lighthouse ARC Is

In Purpose

The Lighthouse ARC is a journal that refuses simplicity and yet embraces all readers; we explore not just the what but the why and the how of the world, in a way accessible to those of all levels of knowledge.

We seek to answer questions, spread understanding, and guide all those who seek to live life well – in purpose, in practice, and in meaning.

In Practice

We explain the world around us in the context of the past, present and future. We explore through different lenses to understand different perspectives. We excavate the past to understand the future.

This means The Lighthouse ARC is not simply a current events tabloid but a journal of all things human. We examine history, philosophy, sociology, and culture, together with economics, politics, law, and the intricacy they form.

We seek to leave no part of the world in the shadows, illuminating diplomacy, policy and conflict worldwide to all.

In Meaning

Understanding the what of current events is essential but it is not enough for meaningful change which we seek to achieve.

To understand the how, we must understand the economics, the politics, the law, and the intricacy.

The economics explains the politics.

The politics explains the law.

The law explains the intricacy.

The intricacy of our systems shapes our world and your life.

To understand the why, we must understand the history, the philosophy, the sociology, and the culture.

The history explains the past so we can predict the future and shape it.

The philosophy explains the motivations so we can predict next steps.

The sociology explains the structure of society so we predict those that will traverse it and what drives them.

The culture explains what we value so we can predict who we will become.

All Are Linked, And All Shape Our Lives.
