Diese Hörbuch-Edition vereint drei zentrale Texte seines Schaffens und zeigt die ganze Bandbreite seines Denkens: von praktischer Lebensklugheit über skeptische Grenzgänge bis hin zu pointierter Argumentationskunst. Mit den Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit formuliert Schopenhauer eine Philosophie für den Alltag. In prägnanten Gedanken entwickelt er Regeln für ein gelingendes Leben – geprägt von Besonnenheit, Selbstkenntnis und der Fähigkeit, sich von äußeren Zwängen zu lösen. Der Versuch über das Geistersehen führt in die Grenzbereiche zwischen Philosophie und spekulativem Denken.

Na Instrução dos principiantes, Hugo apresenta o treinamento em que eram conduzidos, sob a guia do mestre de noviços, os recém-chegados à escola, cujo objetivo era aprender “o bom termo e a medida adequada em todas as palavras e ações”, isto é, a disciplina: como se comportar e governar o corpo — no caminhar, nos gestos, na fala, no tratamento dos outros e nos modos à mesa. Esse aprendizado de autodomínio corporal era anterior ao estudo das letras descrito no Didascalicon, pois, segundo o mestre, “os movimentos desordenados do corpo refletem a corrupção e a dissolução da mente”.

Slow Looking provides a robust argument for the importance of slow looking in learning environments both general and specialized, formal and informal, and its connection to major concepts in teaching, learning, and knowledge. A museum-originated practice increasingly seen as holding wide...

Muitos de nós cultivamos habilidades aparentemente desconexas – advogados que tocam piano, médicos amantes de culinária, designers fascinados por tecnologia. Essa multiplicidade não é apenas uma peculiaridade pessoal, mas uma característica compartilhada por muitos. Leonardo Da Vinci é um exemplo famoso, mas poucos sabem que Einstein tocava violino, Shakespeare era fascinado pela ciência e Samuel Morse, o engenheiro que inventou o aparelho precursor do telefone, também era pintor e professor de belas artes.
