Questo opuscolo e composto da due brevi capitoli: Nessun diritto al santuario e Un anno dopo.Nel primo insisto sullopportunita di riconoscere e affrontare la guerra civile che e in atto, resa manifesta dallemergenza sanitaria relativa alla pandemia. Anche le posizioni piu critiche che hanno denunciato la sottomissione dei governi al potere del nuovo capitalismo e al suo progetto di liquidazione delle tradizionali forme politiche delle democrazie occidentali hanno forse trascurato che la gran parte della gente non solo e disposta a sacrificare tutto in cambio della nuda vita, ma quello che appare come un sacrificio potrebbe essere un desiderio.Nel secondo riprendo la parola, dopo un anno di silenzio, per confutare la pandemia recepita unicamente come levidenza di una realta sanitaria inoppugnabile, di fronte a cui ogni dubbio, discussione e interpretazione sono giudicati moralmente offensivi e irresponsabili, se non proprio folli e criminali.Eppure, il fatto che la pandemia abbia prodotto in pochissimo tempo unimmensa letteratura mondiale, ci rivela quanto ci sia necessario continuare a interpretarla mobilitando tutti i registri del sapere. Che bisogno ne avremmo se si trattasse di una pura e semplice emergenza sanitaria, per quanto globale? Segno che, lungi da limitarsi a essere una realta biosanitaria di cui solo gli immunologi avrebbero la competenza e il diritto di parlare, levento pandemia non cessa di interrogarci tutti, uno a uno, a partire dalla domanda che sta al suo centro: chi e il mio prossimo?

The great Tamil poet Muruganar approached the South Indian sage, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and requested elucidation on the instruction which had been given by Lord Siva to the Rishis of Darukavanam (the Pine Forest).The Rishis had become hooked on action (karma) and every attainment threw up the desire for a further bigger, better attainment. They approached Siva and asked for help. Things have not changed much since then ... have they? The human condition continues to be enthralled with the shadows all the while oblivious to the all important source of the light.Sri Ramana Maharshi agreed and wrote this instruction in 30 verses. Later, the verses were translated into Telugu, Malayalam and, at the request of the great Sanskritist, Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni, they were also translated into Sanskrit. The Sanskrit work is known as Upadesa Saram (The Essence of Instruction). This is an English translation with commentary of that work by Miles Wright.

Na escola, o professor de Ensino Religioso tem o dever de apresentar o outro diferente de sua crença professada. É pensar que, no território da religiosidade, a pluralidade de valores tem seu lugar na busca do que e o bem viver. Buscamos contemplar nesse livro parte da riqueza cultural configurada nessa relaço com o outro, em que e possivel a atitude etica. Sem o outro, no ha etica. Sem a compreenso da diversidade no ha novos valores. Para trazer esse outro em cena e construir com ele o novo, e necessario esculpir no tempo a alteridade e a diversidade de forma responsavel e critica. A etica na vida so e possivel quando um outro de crenças diferentes e respeitado em sua morada. Nessa trilha de alteridade e diversidade, e preciso estar aberto para o novo e lutar pelo direito de se fazer pertencer ao mundo. Saber desse outro que e um outro de nos mesmos, e conceber uma etica em sua dinamica de formaço de valores democraticos.

"Senhor, como no momento da minha morte, me encontrarei separado do mundo, nu de todas as coisas, apenas diante de vossa Presença, para responder a vossa Justiça por todos os movimentos do meu coraço, fazei-me considerar nesta doença como uma especie de morte, separada do mundo, nua de todos os objetos de meus apegos, somente diante de sua presença para implorar de sua misericordia a converso do meu coraço; E que eu tenha extrema consolaço por Vos" (III). E assim que o filosofo Blaise Pascal, em estado de enfermidade, se dirige a Deus em sua Priere pour demander a Dieu le bon usage des maladies, agora traduzida para o Portugues pelo Instituto Ciencia e Fe PUCPR. Esta pequena, mas profunda oraço, feita por este pensador no seculo XVII nos demonstra que podemos fazer o bom uso inclusive das enfermidades.

"On the Sublime" by Longinus is a work of literary criticism thought to date back to 1st century Rome. The earliest surviving manuscript, from the 10th century, was first printed in 1554.While the author is not definitively known, Longinus or Pseudo-Longinus is typically credited for the work. "On the Sublime" centres on aesthetics and the benefits of strong writing. Longinus does this by analysing both strong and weak writing from works written over the previous thousand years. The goal, according to Longinus, is to achieve the sublime. In philosophy, the sublime is a quality of greatness. It can be physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic, spiritual, artistic, or metaphysical. Another quality of of the sublime is that it cant be calculated, imitated, or measured."On the Sublime" is written in epistolary form. An epistolary work is usually written through letters, journal entries, or a combination of the two."On the Sublime" is one of a number of classical literary treatises that pose the often-considered problem of nature versus art, of the relative contributions of natural genius or inspiration and of acquired skill to great writing.

Originally published in 1883, "A Problem in Greek Ethics" by John Addington Symonds is a ground-breaking study of the Greek institution of paiderastia. This was a custom by which adolescent men made alliances with older men of a romantic and sexual nature. The young men in question were the same age as contemporary teen pop stars (approximately from puberty to the Athenian age of majority, 21). And they were treated similarly, as celebrities, showered with gifts and attention, and fought over by lovers. Philosophers such as Plato considered these same-sex unions as a remedy for tyranny, the bedrock of a cultured society, and the purest form of love.The point of this essay is never made explicit, but it is still very relevant. The ancient Greek civilization lasted for hundreds of years, invented democracy, built amazing monumental buildings, developed advanced philosophy, drama and literature, and defeated the Persian empire. And no small part of this success was due to the openly acknowledged contribution of gay people. This proves specious the argument that homosexuals achieving parity in a society means the end of civilization "as we know it".Symonds, who also wrote "A Problem in Modern Ethics", was an accomplished classicist, and a pioneering (if closeted) self-realized gay person. This book was originally published privately for the use of Medical Psychologists and Jurists; this figleaf was necessary in the repressive climate of Victorian England.

"The Rosary of the Philosophers" (Rosarium philosophorum sive pretiosissimum donum Dei) by Spanish physician, religious reformer and alchemist Arnaldus de Villa Nova, is a 16th century essential alchemical treatise.

The treatise included a series of 20 woodcuts with German language captions, reproduced in this reprint in form of images.

A segunda década do século XXI terminou com uma notícia que de início pareceu menor do que se transformou meses depois. Quem poderia imaginar que aquelas primeiras notícias vindas de um hospital de uma cidade do interior da China, na virada do ano 2019 para 2020, poderiam impactar de tal forma as vidas do planeta? Tudo começou com sete pacientes internados com pneumonia em dezembro de 2019 em Wuhan, e ao longo dos meses que se seguiram os numeros de infectados no mundo chegam a casa de milhes, dentre eles centenas de mortos. Esse e um cenario assustador para um mundo em que a crença cega em avanços da tecnologia pode nos salvar de tudo. E de repente tudo o que parecia certo se transformou em duvidas, em perdas, de trabalho, de renda, de familiares, amigos, o mero ato do encontro entre as pessoas tornou-se uma ameaça. Diante de todo esse quadro que nos colocou como protagonistas e coadjuvantes de um episodio de uma serie distopica, um grupo de pesquisadores, filosofos, historiadores, teologos, pedagogos, construiu reflexes a respeito da efemeridade da existencia humana, ao mesmo tempo em que prope argumentos a favor de uma vida mais digna, da singeleza das relaçes entre os seres, e da importancia da dignidade e do amor.

First published in 1825, "Fragments of the Lost Writings of Proclus" is a short book of translations of fragments of Proclus by Thomas Taylor, the English Neoplatonist and translator of Aristotle, Plato and Orpheus.Proclus Lycaeus (412 - 485), surnamed "The Successor" or "diadochos" was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major Classical philosophers. He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism. He stands near the end of the classical development of philosophy, and was very influential on Western Medieval Philosophy (Greek and Latin) as well as Islamic thought. (Source: wikipedia.org)

First published by the Yogi Publication Society in 1908, "The Kybalion" is a summary of hermetic philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece (a philosophy named for Hermes Trismegistus) by the Three Initiates. There are seven seed truths contained in "The Kybalion", the Seven Principles of Nature (mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, gender, and cause and affect), and these principles explain what Hermetists describe as the art of Mental Transmutation. This may sound like magic, but the hermetic teachings in "The Kybalion" are actually scientific. Most people dont realize that a set of Universal Laws that apply to all created things even exists. That is what hermetic philosophy is: an explanation of the universal, fundamental principles that determine how reality works. By adopting and mastering these Kybalion principles, you can tap into the divine power of the universe."The Kybalion" is one of the more out there books youll ever come across. In fact, its so arcane that the authors arent even identified by name. Theyre just called the Three Initiates. This is all intentional. One of the first concepts youll be introduced to when you begin to read it is the idea that the book has actually come to your attention by design. Only those who are ready for the wisdom conveyed in the book ever discover it. As such, the book is full of arcane teachings in the strict sense, in that they are mysterious and known by few.

Inside these pages can be found the teachings and lore of such notable figures as Buddha, Shankara, Confucius, Lao-Tsu, Mencius and many others. First published in 1928, "The Story of Oriental Philosophy" offers readers insight into such Eastern scriptures as the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the teachings of Zen, and Indian sacred writing. The ancient wisdom of Asia awaits those seeking value in thought and knowledge.Lily Adams Beck was one of the more well-known and popular novelists and biographers in the 1920s. Becks fascination with Asian culture and philosophy influenced her to write not only this book but several "oriental fantasies" of her era.

First published in 1907, "Pragmatism", a philosophical work by American philosopher William James, is an exploration of what is known as the pragmatic method, designed as a way to reconcile the claims of science with those of religion and morality. Pragmatism as a philosophy considers different philosophies most useful in terms of how they are implemented. Ultimately, James argues that any idea, be it philosophical, political, social, or otherwise, is valid only in terms of its experiential and practical consequences. The primary themes of Pragmatism are of truth, meaning, and reality, and the value they have when implemented. James explores the consequences of these differing philosophies when implemented, whether they can help people make better sense of the world and resolve the problems faced as both individuals and a larger society. "Pragmatism" is considered one of the most influential works of pragmatist philosophy.Two years later, a follow-up work, "The Meaning of Truth: A Sequel to Pragmatism" appeared. It is still widely read and analysed today by students of philosophy.
