Sinossi

Walter Pater's "The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry" is a seminal work that intricately melds art criticism with literary aesthetics, embodying the spirit of the late 19th-century aesthetic movement. In this series of essays, Pater examines the interplay between visual art and literature during the Italian Renaissance, illustrating how the period's creative vigor influenced modern sensibilities. His lyrical prose, rich in vivid imagery and philosophical reflection, invites readers to appreciate the nuances of beauty and emotion through a fresh lens, challenging conventional perceptions of art's role in society. Pater's insights into figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo demonstrate a critical engagement that transcends mere historical analysis, revealing the deep connections between art, culture, and the self. Walter Pater (1839-1894) was a pioneering critic, theorist, and essayist, whose work laid the groundwork for modernist critiques of art and literature. A key figure in the Aesthetic Movement, Pater's own intellectual journey led him to explore the tension between artistic expression and moral concerns, significantly influencing contemporaries such as Oscar Wilde and Henry James. His pursuit of beauty as a vital aspect of the human experience finds expression in this work, where he reflects on the enduring legacy of Renaissance art in shaping modern identity. "The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry" is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the connections between art and literature. Pater's compelling prose ignites a passion for aesthetic exploration, making this book a valuable addition to the library of scholars, artists, and casual readers alike. It not only enriches our appreciation for the Renaissance but also encourages a reflective engagement with beauty that resonates within our contemporary cultural landscape.

    How We Think is a seminal work by the American philosopher and educator John Dewey, first published in 1910. The book explores the process of human thought and inquiry, examining how we develop ideas and knowledge, and how we use critical thinking and problem-solving to make sense of the world around us. 
    Dewey's approach emphasizes the importance of experience and reflection in the process of learning and thought. He argues that our thinking is influenced by our past experiences and that we must reflect on those experiences in order to form new ideas and perspectives. He also advocates for a scientific approach to inquiry, emphasizing the importance of observation, experimentation, and testing in the development of knowledge. 
    In How We Think, Dewey also introduces his ideas on experimentalism and pragmatism, arguing that knowledge must be grounded in experience and that theories and ideas must be tested through practical application. He discusses the role of logic and critical thinking in this process, and the importance of education in fostering these skills. 
    How We Think is a groundbreaking work in the fields of philosophy, education, and psychology, and remains relevant today for its insights into the nature of human thought and learning

    "All desires are a disguise covering up one real desire: the desire to be free."In this conversation, the biggest misconceptions about enlightenment are exposed. OM talks about the distinction between awakening experiences and enlightenment, which are often lumped together. The essential focus is to distinguish whether something is a fleeting, short-lived experience, or an enduring, permanent state.He shares from his wealth of experience about his own awakening process. He names various pitfalls that spiritual seekers repeatedly fall into on their quest."All practice is directed into the future, but Enlightenment is NOW!"Why are there so few truly awakened people? It is true that the awareness of suffering has always been the great driving force behind the search for realisation. It is also true that since the beginning of the great religions there have only been a handful of enlightened people.The so-called New Age movement and its various forms of expression are also scrutinised. It shows that most people are simply interested in feeling good and having intense, mystical, angelic experiences of happiness. The catch is that these experiences are not permanent. And, unsurprisingly, they have nothing to do with true bliss.Light is also shed on the guru. Who actually is the guru? In what form can he manifest himself? And how do I recognise a true teacher from a false one?
