Un ensayo para pensar mejor cómo vivir en esta época. "Los dos mundos de la felicidad (manual de autoindagación)" se enfoca en los desafíos que nos trae interrogarnos sobre el significado de ser felices hoy día. ¿Nos conformamos con el bienestar fugaz de algunos momentos puntuales, para volver después a una existencia sufrida? ¿O apostamos a un disfrute de la vida más difícil, menos inmediato pero más profundo? Lo habitual es que nos dividamos entre estos planos de lo real. Ivansky nos invita a reunificarnos en nuestra búsqueda de la felicidad.Matt D Ivansky (Matías D Saeta) es Licenciado en Psicología por la Universidad del Salvador (Bs As), y actualmente ejerce su profesión tanto en el ámbito público como en el privado.En el terreno de la producción literaria, comenzó su carrera como novel escritor al idear el mundo fantástico que dio nacimiento a su trabajo más extenso, "El descenso de Ishmana (El éxodo urimio)", en el cual intentó novelar una serie de conceptos extraídos de las tradiciones espirituales mayormente orientales. Luego, y siempre en su predilección por la temática metafísica que siguió profundizando por más de veinte años, escribió la serie "Crónicas Paranormales", en las cuales propone al lector un conjunto de contextos y situaciones verosímiles que procuran acercarlo al universo sutil de lo sobrenatural. A continuación, y como un intento de incursionar brevemente en el género de la novela contemporánea, escribe "Heiliges Herz", volcando en ella su sentir personal acerca de la problemática de la infancia vulnerada (obvio reflejo de su experiencia en el ámbito institucional). Posteriormente, "El guardián de los cerros", como novela cuasi fantástica, trae un aire de homenaje nostálgico a los años de una infancia atesorada en geografías andinas, aspecto que aparece también en algunos cuentos, bajo la forma de pinceladas autorreferenciales."La torre de Sandro", en una categoría distinta, es un recreo de inventiva libre, con algo de argentinidad llevada al extremo de la parodia; un intento fallido de novela negra que procura un par de reflexiones más divertidas que fecundas.La serie de cuentos cortos, son un concentrado de temas aleatorios con los que el autor ha jugado, procurando ensayar estilos, escenarios y personajes, tan variados e inverosímiles como sórdidos.Matt D Ivansky vive en una ciudad del sur argentino. Está casado y tiene dos hijos en edad adolescente.

Den græske filosof Epikur blev født i 341 f.Kr. på den græske ø Samos og flyttede som ganske ung til Athen, hvor han med sine nyskabende ideer kom til at spille en stor rolle. Hans tanker om venskabets betydning og fælles nydelse af måltider og andre jordnære glæder fik ham og hans tilhængere til at virke mærkelige for nogle af athenerne, mens andre hurtigt lod sig overbevise. Frederiks Poulsens lille bog ”Fra Epikurs have” giver en spændende indføring i Epikurs tanker om, hvad et godt liv består af.Bogen er oprindeligt udgivet i 1948.Poul Frederik Sigfred Poulsen (1876-1950) var en dansk forfatter og klassisk arkæolog, der i en lang årrække var direktør for Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Han var internationalt anerkendt for sin forskning i arkæologi og sine utallige videnskabelige værker. Også hos den brede befolkning gjorde han stor lykke med sine fortællinger og levende og muntre skildringer af rejser til blandt andet Grækenland, Spanien, England og forskellige danske egne. Frederik Poulsen opnåede mange udmærkelser i både Danmark og udlandet og var blandt andet Dannebrogsmand, Kommandør af 1. grad af Dannebrog og æresdoktor ved universitetet i Bordeaux.

"Prometheus" is het filosofische hoofdwerk van Carry van Bruggen, die bekender is als romanschrijfster. Bij Van Bruggen is de eenzame mens altijd op zoek naar eenheid op een hoger niveau: in liefde, vriendschap, gemeenschapszin. Het is deze opvatting die ze uitwerkt in "Prometheus", waarin zij de ontwikkeling van individualiteit in de literatuur onderzoekt en de vloer aanveegt met alle vormen van conservatisme en verstarring. "Prometheus" had een grote invloed op het denken van Menno ter Braak. Barber Van de Pol, vertaalster en kenner van het werk van Carry van Bruggen, zag gelijkenis met het anti-elitaire, postmoderne denken van Pierre Bourdieux.Carry van Bruggen (schrijversnaam van de Joods-Nederlandse Carolina Lea de Haan, 1881-1932) was de zus van Jacob Israël de Haan, schrijver van "Pijpelijntjes", een van de eerste Nederlandse romans waarin homoseksualiteit openlijk werd beschreven. Net als haar broer ging Van Bruggen geen controversieel thema uit de weg. In haar romans en pamfletten ging ze elk dogmatisme te lijf. Ze was de enige vrouwelijke auteur uit haar tijd die door collega’s en critici au sérieux werd genomen. Ze woonde een tijdlang in Nederlands-Indië met haar eerste man. Haar bekendste romans zijn "Eva" en "Een coquette vrouw". Ze schreef ook non-fictie, met als bekendste titels "Prometheus" en "Hedendaags fetisjisme". Haar werk raakte in de vergetelheid, maar werd in de jaren 1970 herontdekt door de feministische beweging.

Hvad er et menneske? Vi bliver født med en biologi og ind i nogle omstændigheder uden for vores kontrol. Vi har en opvækst, en opdragelse, nogle livsbegivenheder og relationer til andre mennesker der former os. Men er der mere til historien? I dette afsnit af Kend din Kierkegaard bliver du opfordret til at kigge tilbage på dit eget liv og overveje hvilke valg og beslutninger du har truffet, der har haft afgørende betydning på dit eget liv.Du kender måske Søren Kierkegaards navn, men ikke hans skrifter og tanker. Det han skrev og tænkte har at gøre med dig og mig, og vores liv i verden, med vores undren over tilværelsen, og med spørgsmålet om hvordan vi bedst lever vores liv. Kierkegaard skrev om kærligheden og angsten, fortvivlelsen og troen, sorgen og glæden, og frem for alt om hvad det vil sige at være menneske i en verden, der hele tiden forandrer sig. Det er noget af alt det som din vært Pia Søltoft vil fortælle dig om i denne podcastserie, hvor du forhåbentlig vil genkende og blive klogere på dig selv gennem Søren Kierkegaards beskrivelser.Pia Søltoft er ph.d. og lektor i etik og religionsfilosofi med særligt henblik på Søren Kierkegaard ved Københavns Universitet. Fra 2010 til 2013 var hun leder af Søren Kierkegaard Forskningscenteret og en af nøglepersonerne i markeringen af 200-året for Søren Kierkegaards fødsel. Sammen med den norske advokat og forfatter Tormod Tingstad har hun skrevet bogen "Kunsten at blive et godt menneske", som blandt andet baserer sig på Søren Kierkegaards filosofi.

Although never intended for publication, ‘Meditations’ has gone on to become one of the most important collections of philosophical thought, of all time.During his reign as Roman Emperor, devout Stoic, Marcus Aurelius, recorded his feelings and beliefs on what it is to be a well-rounded human being. While Stoicism has its roots in the ‘expect the worst and you won’t be disappointed’ school of thought, Aurelius’ experiences as Emperor also lead him to try and find the best of himself and eschew the opinions of others.A moving and motivational read for philosophy fans.Marcus Aurelius (121 – 180) was a Roman Emperor, ruling for almost 20 years. His rule was founded on his beliefs in the philosophy of Stoicism, which espoused the qualities of virtue, wisdom, and resisting temptation. For many, he embodies the Roman Empire at the peak of its powers.

Susi on eläin, joka herättää suomalaisissa vahvoja tunteita. Osa asettuu puolustamaan susia, mutta susien salakaadot kertovat myös vastakkaisista tunteista. Mutta miksi susi oikein on niin vihattu?Ympäristofilosofi Leena Vilkka lähestyy kirjassaan sutta ymmärtävästi. Luonto- ja eläinkäsitykset ovat kautta aikain säädelleet ihmisten suhdetta suteen. Eettiseen luontosuhteeseen perustuva susikäsitys antaa sudelle arvoa suomalaiseen metsäluontoon kuuluvana yksilönä ja lajina, sosiaalisena laumaeläimenä. Arka metsien koira ei ole ihmiselle sellainen uhka, jona se halutaan nähdä.Ympäristöfilosofi Leena Vilkka (s. 1964) on julkaissut useita tietokirjoja. Hän kirjoittaa kolumneja Ylelle.

Court Tancke rejser i midten af 1600-tallet rundt i Europa for at købe kunst og rariteter til den danske konge. Samtidig er charlatanen Kaj Lykke på flugt for sit liv, da han i Danmark er dømt for majestætsfornærmelse. Han jages af dronningens to politispioner, Wahl og Brylle, som ihærdigt tilsidesætter alt for at fange ham og bringe ham bag lås og slå. Tancke fascineres af Lykke, som har et næsten umenneskeligt tag på kvinder, og snart er Tancke filtret ind i det ene farlige optrin efter det andet, alt imens han får den første spæde idé til det, der engang skal blive til lysbilledet, som vi kender det i dag.Kun få forfattere har været så konsekvente i deres litterære tematikker som Bo Reinholdt. Derfor handler hans nye roman ligeledes som flere af de foregående, om synet og billedet. "Tancke" er (som altid) en sproglige afsøgning af det visuelle felt — af øjets utrættelige arbejde, af farvernes spil på himlen og de uendeligt mange og sammensatte perspektiver vores virkeligheder er udgjort af.Med "Tancke" indbyder Bo Reinholdt igen sine læserne ind i hans særegne litterære verden, hvor kunsthistorie, billedtænkning, spænding og mystik væves sammen i et mesterligt og idiosynkratisk sprog.Bo Reinholdt (født 1948) debuterede i 1983 med "Akefalens vidnesbyrd" og har senest udgivet romanen "Focus Puller" (2020). I alt tæller Reinholdts forfatterskab mere end 18 udgivelser, fordelt over fire årtier.

Alpinista Nuñez na skutek nieszczęśliwego wypadku trafia do "Kraju Ślepców" - doliny otoczonej stromymi przepaściami. Społeczność tego terenu została przed laty dotknięta chorobą, która spowodowała ślepotę niemowlaków. Z biegiem czasu ludność coraz bardziej przystosowywała się do życia bez wzroku, wyostrzając pozostałe zmysły. Widzący Nuñez ma poczucie przewagi, sądzi, że łatwo byłoby mu przejąć władzę nad ślepcami. Mieszkańcy mają go jednak za dziwaka.

W 1939 r. autor przebudował zakończenie i opublikował drugą wersję utworu.Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) - jeden z prekursorów gatunku science fiction.

Mennesket er en syntese mellem sjæl og legeme, i følge Søren Kierkegaard, og for at holde sammen på disse to modstridende størrelser har mennesket bruge for noget tredje, nemlig ånd. Et af Kierkegaards pseudonymer skriver om mennesket som en syntese mellem det endelige og det uendelige, og for at forstå denne syntese, så får vi brug for vores fantasi. Hvordan bruger du så og kultiverer denne fantasi? Det kan du høre i dette afsnit af Kend din Kierkegaard.Du kender måske Søren Kierkegaards navn, men ikke hans skrifter og tanker. Det han skrev og tænkte har at gøre med dig og mig, og vores liv i verden, med vores undren over tilværelsen, og med spørgsmålet om hvordan vi bedst lever vores liv.

Mitä luonnon itseisarvot tarkoittavat? Miten ne ilmenevät ihmiselle? Miksi niin pitkään ajateltiin, ettei luonnolla ja eläimillä edes olisi itseisarvoa?Ympäristöfilosofi Leena Vilkka on tehnyt pitkän uran eläinten ja luonnon oikeuksien parissa. Oikeutta luonnolle syventyy eläin- ja luonnon oikeuksien kehittymiseen filosofisesta näkökulmasta. Eläinten ja luonnon hyväksikäyttö on pitkään perustunut näkemykseen, että ihmisen arvo on korkeampi kuin luonnon tai eläinten. Oikeutta luonnolle haastaa tämän näkemyksen – ja kannustaa ihmisiä valitsemaan luontoa ja eläinten elämää arvostavan elämänkatsomuksen.Sagan ympäristökirjat ovat monipuolisia puheenvuoroja ilmastosta, ympäristöstä ja luonnosta.Ympäristöfilosofi Leena Vilkka (s. 1964) on julkaissut useita tietokirjoja.

Pack away Danielle Steele, the vicar and the lonely housewife and take this little number to bed because Jack London and Anna Strunsky are dropping ample late-Victorian arguments about love and sex – a work so titillating that it was originally published anonymously.No, the novel is exactly as steamy and provocative as its title suggests, "The Kempton-Wace Letters" being a discussion of contrasting opinions on love and how to approach it. Using pseudonyms, London makes the practical, scientific argument of eugenics and Darwinism, while Strunsky opts for the idea of romantic, passionate love in a traditional sense. The sensible vs. the sensitive. The mind vs. the heart. And one side will come out on top.Structured as an exchange of letters between fictitious gentlemen, "The Kempton-Wace Letters" has its roots in the personal relationship of London and Strunsky whose differing views on marriage doomed a potential relationship.Jack London (1876–1916) was an American writer and social activist. He grew up in the working class, but became a worldwide celebrity and one of the highest paid authors of his time. He wrote several novels, which are considered classics today, among these 'Call of the Wild', 'Sea Wolf' and 'White Fang'.

"Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven."It's the classic temptation - power. And these are the words John Milton puts on the forked tongue of the serpent when it speaks to Adam and Eve.We know how it ends - an apple, nakedness and banishment.But in 'Paradise Lost', Milton turns a few Bible verses into a true epic. In 10,000 lines of beautiful but dark verse, he tells the parallel stories of Satan and of Adam and Eve.With greed, temptation, lust, sex, deception, shame and much more, it is a classic whose themes are as relevant and alluring today as ever before.John Milton (1608-1674) was almost 60 when he produced his masterpiece, 'Paradise Lost'.He was an English poet who served as a civil servant under Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century. Before this, he was considered a dangerous radical as he published rebellious pamphlets during the reign of Charles I.A famed republican, his work 'Areopagitica' was a scorching condemnation of pre-publication censorship.The Restoration of Charles II saw Milton marginalised from 1660. He died blind and impoverished.

She was the 'Nightingale of India', and her voice was first heard in 1905 when 'The Golden Threshold' was published.This collection of Sarojini Naidu's early work is already infused with the rich imagery and lush descriptions of India that she was known for.Borrowing from the tradition of British Romanticism, the works are largely lyric poetry. But never mind the style, it is the substance that counts.A rich range of content includes songs for music, folk songs and poems, all opening a window and allowing the scents and sounds of early-20th century India to blow in.Evocative, educational, imaginative, charming...this is ideal for fans of Arundhati Roy's 'The God of Small Things' and the poetry of Daljit Nagra.Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian poet and political activist.She was educated in Madras, London and Cambridge, where she took up the cause of women's suffrage.Back in India, she became a leading figure in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule.Her poetry, which was vivid, colourful, evocative and challenging, earned her the title "The Nightingale of India".In 1925 Naidu was made president of the Indian National Congress and in 1947 was appointed Governor of the United Provinces.
