El estilo de pensamiento de Unamuno es fundamentalmente novelesco (o nivolesco como diría él). Sin importar el género en el que escribía, su impronta era inconfundible. Especialmente, porque la cuestion del estilo es para el filosofo español un asunto de caracter completamente existencial. Este libro asume esa premisa e intenta trazar las claves de lectura del estilo unamuniano, toma el tipo de novela original que el entonces rector de la Universidad de Salamanca practico durante su vida intelectual y esclarece, ademas, las razones por las que podemos considerar que en la obra de Unamuno la novela es un instrumento de conocimiento que le permitio consolidar una filosofia novelada. Para ello, en estas paginas se analizan obras que resultan clave para dilucidar como Unamuno descubrio en el tono novelistico cercano al modernismo europeo (que apenas se gestaba) una serie de posibilidades esteticas y epistemologicas que le permitian abordar las preocupaciones que mas le importaban dentro de toda la compleja realidad del hombre de carne y hueso. Se intenta reconstruir el itinerario de la novela unamuniana, descubriendo en la travesia de don Miguel los momentos, razones, influencias y los dialogos que establece con una tradicion literaria a la que se oponia. Por todo esto, este libro se presenta como una guia de lectura de la filosofia de Miguel de Unamuno en clave nivolesca que destaca la vigencia estetica, conceptual y existencial de su pensamiento.

The author of this book Ethan Allen was a deist. Deists believe that God created the universe and then just set it running as part of his grand plan, a plan in which humanity is but an insignificant player. In this book, Allen speaks that everything in the universe is a part of a complex chain of cause and effect. Allen denies all supernatural occurrences because they dont belong to this chain of cause and effect. Yet, in this book, he also expresses a belief in mankinds free will. He asserts that the universe knows no good or evil but rather is indifferent to mankinds conceptions of morality. The most interesting passages of the book are inspired by the discoveries of the 16th-century Italian heretic Giordano Bruno who proposes that the universe contains myriad worlds, perhaps populated by a variety of life forms. Allen asks why then God would bother to cater specifically to our petty needs.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) fatigó su vida y agotó su salud en el desempeño de la política (en un periodo histórico particularmente turbulento), hizo contribuciones decisivas a la ciencia (pulió el método cientifico hasta convertirlo en el instrumento mas eficaz para conocer la naturaleza), pero su aspiracion secreta fue la de vincular su nombre a la literatura. Bacon no estaba tanto interesado en la ficcion o en el tratado teorico, como en una forma nueva, que habia puesto en circulacion Montaigne: el ensayo. Una forma libre de pensamiento sobre toda clase de asuntos, comunes a los hombres, donde la imaginacion del abordaje se revela decisiva. Los Ensayos fueron durante años el orgullo secreto de Bacon y su contribucion mas importante a las letras inglesas. Estos textos breves y concentrados, fruto de una curiosidad disparada en multiples direcciones (la verdad, la muerte, la venganza, la envidia y el amor; pero tambien el disimulo, la sospecha, la ira, la fama o la conversacion; y saberes practicos como la salud, la jardineria o las negociaciones), siguen apelandonos directamente, gracias a dos grandes virtudes que les permiten sortear el paso del tiempo: una lucida comprension de la naturaleza humana, y una precision casi clinica con el lenguaje. El mundo cambia, pero las pasiones siguen aqui, y leidas con varios siglos de distancia, las palabras y las ideas de Francis Bacon (una inteligencia resuelta a pensarlo todo por si misma) siguen interpelandonos
