  Being and Neon

  Luis de Miranda

  • 0

  “This little book is a jewel of intelligence, finesse and culture, which takes a technical object without complaint and turns it over and over as Heidegger taught us to do with Van Gogh's shoes. What is striking is the ambition of a meditation on the maps of contemporary modernity, on the famous Greater Paris, on the subject, on the plural, without the evasiveness of the postmodern, of the absurd quotation. Luis de Miranda goes for a walk, he tells you that he goes for a walk, but he leads you with great mastery and knows where he wants to go. There is nothing gratuitous about this encounter of the kebab shop on the dissection table of the City of Neon. It is rather a new Cartesian meditation after Descartes and Husserl: where the stove and its heat have given way to the whirling sound of gas in a tube. I am, I create, therefore I hear. “Born from an unexpected encounter with a neon sign on the Quai du Louvre, this book was composed based on a seminar given by the author in the winter of 2012. An inspired journey through the night, deciphering the halos of the past and the reflections of the present to give voice to a certain magic of the future.

  An atmospheric scientist explains why global climate change mitigation and energy decarbonization demand American diplomacy, technology, and policy 
   
   
    
  Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international "climate clubs" and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.

  Epicurus - Pleasure Atoms and...

  Epicurus, a Greek philosopher born in 341 BCE on the island of Samos, founded the school of philosophy known as Epicureanism, which emphasized the pursuit of happiness through the cultivation of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. His teachings were revolutionary for their focus on the individual’s inner peace and well-being, rather than devotion to the gods or the pursuit of wealth and power. Epicurus advocated for a life of simple pleasures, good friendships, and intellectual contemplation, arguing that these were the true sources of happiness. 
    
  His philosophy was grounded in atomism, the belief that everything in the universe is made up of small, indivisible particles, or atoms, moving through the void. For Epicurus, the natural world was not governed by divine intervention, but by laws that could be understood through reason and observation. He believed that by understanding the workings of nature, individuals could free themselves from irrational fears, especially the fear of death and the gods. 
    
  Epicurus placed great importance on pleasure, defining it not as indulgence in material excess, but as the absence of pain (ataraxia) and the pursuit of a serene and balanced life. He argued that physical and mental pleasures, when experienced in moderation, contributed to a life of tranquility. Furthermore, he saw pain not as an inherent part of life, but as something to be minimized or avoided through thoughtful living and wise choices.
