  The European Union - Unity and...

  The formation of the European Union (EU) is the result of decades of political, economic, and social evolution, shaped by the aftermath of two World Wars and the desire for long-lasting peace and prosperity in Europe. The idea of a united Europe emerged from the devastation of the Second World War, with leaders recognizing that unity among European nations could prevent future conflicts and create a foundation for collective economic growth. 
  The origins of European integration can be traced back to the 1950s, following the end of World War II. The primary motivation was the need to secure peace and ensure stability in a continent scarred by war. The first major step in the process was the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951. The ECSC, established by the six founding members—Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany—was a pioneering effort in economic cooperation. By pooling coal and steel production, the ECSC aimed to make war between these countries materially impossible, as it would require the cooperation of nations whose economies were intertwined. 
  The next pivotal moment came in 1957, with the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which established the European Economic Community (EEC). The Treaty of Rome sought to deepen economic cooperation and foster a common market, removing trade barriers, creating a customs union, and enabling the free movement of goods, services, capital, and people. This was a significant step towards realizing the vision of a unified Europe.

  On Life After Death

  Carl Jung

  C. G. Jung, (Carl Gustav Jung) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death. 
  The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development. 
  Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types. 
  Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the psychologization of religion, spirituality, and the New Age movement has been immense.

  Beyond Good and Evil - Prelude...

  “Without music, life would be a mistake.”“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” ...“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” 
  Nietzsche 
   
  By turns illuminating, infuriating, bewildering, and amusing, Nietzsche's masterwork covers a lot of ground. He rejects most strands of Western thought, especially on the subject of morality, and develops his own theme demanding that individuals embrace their own 'will to power' to give life intention and direction. First published in German in 1887, this translation was produced in 1907 by Helen Zimmern, a long-standing acquaintance of Nietzsche. 
   
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy.

  Women Holding Things

  From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty and My Favorite Things comes a wondrous collection of words that is a moving meditation on the beauty and complexity of women’s lives and roles, revealed in the things they hold. 
  “What do women hold? The home and the family. And the children and the food. The friendships. The work. The work of the world. And the work of being human. The memories. And the troubles. And the sorrows and the triumphs. And the love.” 
  In the spring of 2021, Maira and Alex Kalman created a small, limited-edition booklet “Women Holding Things,” which featured select recent paintings by Maira, accompanied by her insightful and deeply personal commentary. The booklet quickly sold out. Now, the Kalmans have expanded that original publication into this extraordinary compendium. 
  Women Holding Things includes thoughtful and intimate anecdotes, recollections, and ruminations about portraits of women, both ordinary and famous, including Virginia Woolf, Sally Hemings, Hortense Cezanne, Gertrude Stein, as well as Kalman’s family members and other real-life people. These women hold a range of objects, from the mundane—balloons, a cup, a whisk, a chicken, a hat—to the abstract—dreams and disappointments, sorrow and regret, joy and love. 
  Kalman considers the many things that fit physically and metaphorically between women’s hands: We see a woman hold a book, hold shears, hold children, hold a grudge, hold up, hold her own. In telling their stories, Kalman lays bare the essence of women’s lives—their tenacity, courage, vulnerability, hope, and pain. Ultimately, she reveals that many of the things we hold dear—as well as those that burden or haunt us—remain constant and connect us from generation to generation. 
  Here, too, are mentions of a few men holding things, such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Anton Chekhov, as well as objects holding other objects that invite us to ponder their intimate relationships to one another. 
  Women Holding Things explores the significance of the objects we carry—in our hands, hearts, and minds—and speaks to, and for, all of us. Maira Kalman’s unique work is a celebration of life, of the act and the art of living, offering an original way of examining and understanding all that is important in our world—and ultimately within ourselves.
