Ap/bio Labpro Lab 4: Plant

Change

I started, and yes with Essays of Montaigne. This effort to engage in a long reading, during which a transformation occurs: a reading that will mark an epoch, which makes time. I've prepared with Montaigne Stefan Zweig, which I bought on 31 December and has given an air daily on 1 January. A January 1 better off light. Among its pages had Munoz Molina article that appeared that time, which speaks well of the book by Sarah Bakewell How to Live, or, A Life of Montaigne . Style seems that de Botton's How to change your life with Proust. It contains twenty propositions, which quoted Muñoz Molina fourteen:
not worry too much about death.
Pay attention. Somételo
any review. Preserves
own room.
Be sociable and lives with others. Wake up from slumber
custom.
lives with temperance.
Preserve your humanity.
Do something that nobody has done before.
Peek into the world.
Do your job well, but not too well.
not try to control everything. Be
common and imperfect.
Let life be your own response. Zweig
also derives a list in Montaigne (p. 79):
Freedom of vanity and pride, which is perhaps most difficult,
freedom from fear and hope,
of convictions and matches
the ambitions and all forms of greed,
live free, as one's own reflection in the mirror,
of money and all kinds of desire and lust,
of family and the environment,
of fanaticism, of all forms of stereotyped view of faith in absolute values.
The book is a gem. It was written in Brazil and left unchecked, because he committed suicide before. Montaigne was therefore his last partner. Zweig recommended reading for someone like me: "Can not be too young nor inexperienced and disappointments, to appreciate it properly." Montaigne's portrait Zweig does build bridges with my admired authors. With Petrarch, communication between reading and life. In Jünger, the effort to preserve their own way of being. With Duchamp, the random entrusted, especially on the trip. With Bernhard, freedom: the take (and get rid of) in writing. With Spinoza, clean look. With Nietzsche, the affirmation of the world and the movement of the world. With Cioran, denial. And Melville, this tower that is also a whale.

In his foreword to trials, the translator Bayod tension points to Montaigne, which gives underground writing tragedy:
How to reconcile these two facets: Montaigne's perpetuum mobile and the Montaigne regular nature and standards, the skeptic Montaigne and appealing to the rule of reason, the score Montaigne undecided and the exhaustive argument? Not appear it is a philosophical development. Could it be internal stress is a key to his thinking? I add
Montaigne and philosophy of Comte-Sponville, one of those scams publishing a conference consisting of fat to look like a book, but that's okay. Here is a quote from Montaigne quotes about change: "I just want discover myself, perchance to be another tomorrow, if I change a new traineeship." The apprentice to the sun: the sun of Montaigne.

What Does Period Cm Look Like?

Montaigne Against



Pere Salinas sent me the video of that wonderful series of collages titled "Against Pessoa", and a link where you can see, deployed, two artist books on the Portuguese poet. Just yesterday I was talking with a friend about Pessoa. I told him that my destination is poised to be Pessoa, in regard to the confinement and the so called inside job. With a subtle difference did Pessoa in Lisbon magnificent and I will play it in a city I hate deeply.

on Fernando Pessoa is also lecture at the Foundation Juan March, some in Portuguese. Was held in 1981. All are interesting, but points out that of Eduardo Lourenço.

Pessoa The viewpoint of Ventoux



Another friend has been on the Ventoux: Bil. On I will not only remember me Petrarca and cyclists (including bicycle ethical), but also the friends who visited him. Bil wrote:
The mount is very humanised : roads, buildings, antennas, even has a lift!, So I could lift up any calling. I do not care how injured is the mountain and the murky debate over whether human intervention or harm him. The fact is that is very prominent and is half of France. I uploaded some pictures of the sunrise. [Map and photo Wikiloc .]

Transfering Lbp Costumes

night Philosopher

A Emilio Lledó he professed sympathy, but with some hesitation because of its extreme sweetness. Is one of those critics do not quite critical, because they end up saying anything inconvenient. Make the criticism that is expected of them: a critique, say, a priest. Lledó has some priests. However, how thankful I had when I started philosophy lecturer. Were teachers and those who longed for, not the string of old crocks that touched me. Priests-priests who had to (and by) a path blocked, a secular priest as Lledó, however, had been fruitful. Confrontation with modernity, not the Middle Ages. Sometimes I meet some of those individuals: they are, without reference, some scammers. Some offenders who live by fraud of public funds.

The Fundación Juan March is quite helpful Lledó audios. The last, the "Intellectual Autobiography", I've heard now. Lledó is a delicate spirit, as was Julian Marias, and I have recently learned that they shared the same tragedy: the early loss of women. On the second I wrote in "Julián Marías and Mrs. Muir" . The tragedy of Lledó I learned from the recital (splendid), which gave Joan Margarit also in March. The account from min. 23 of "reading" the poem written as "Philosopher in the night "(" Philosophy in the nit "in the original Catalan). In addition to the booklet can be read here in both languages. When I heard the slam gave me this verse:" I love More than anyone, beside me, your absence. "
