"Когда мы подвергаем мысленному рассмотрению природу или историю человечества или нашу собственную духовную деятельность, то перед нами сперва возникает картина бесконечного сплетения связей и взаимодействий, в которой ничто не остается неподвижным и неизменным, а все движется, изменяется, возникает и исчезает."

Le Symbolisme est un mouvement littéraire et artistique de la fin du 19ème siècle, d'origine française, s'insirant de la spiritualité, de l'imagination et des rêves. Il s'agit d'une conception spirituelle du monde : trouver d'autres moyens d'expression pour dépasser la simple représentation réaliste; les symbolistes utilisent généralement des images et des analogies pour évoquer le monde, suggérer les états d'âme et les idées abstraites sans les expliciter, alors que la pensée logique exploite les données réelles.

Life is short, and it can be sweet. Contemplating death is looking into a mirror that allows us to see these simple facts clearly, as if for the first time. We have every reason to believe that we have but one life to live - and no good reasons to believe otherwise - and death marks the termination of each life. Examining this reality opens doors to understanding ourselves, each other, connection, love, and life itself in an entirely new way.

Walking was first published in the June 1862 issue of Atlantic Monthly. In this treatise, Thoreau reminds us of how the primal act of walking connects us with nature. He argues that the genius of walking does not lie in mechanically putting one foot in front of the other toward to a destination, but in mastering the art of sauntering. The themes of Walking include freedom, self-reflection, and exploration. Thoreau states that the act of walking marks the human being as an inhabitant, or part and parcel of nature, rather than a member of society.

This is a two-book combo which has the following titles: Existentialism: The Psychology and Philosophy of Existentialist Thinkers and Existentialism: Nihilism and Rethinking Value Systems by Cruz Matthews.

In this book, you will learn more about the lives and theories of prominent existential philosophers and theorists, such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, and others. These thinkers paved the way for the entire existentialist movement, as well as nihilism, and some great new ideas that had never been explored in that much depth before. Become familiar with these brilliant minds and their theories now.

The Purposehood of everything is to evolve and expand exponentially in a powerful, symbiotic relationship.

Democritus. Bring the Stranger, bring the Stranger. Let us see how he is put together. I smell one goodish ingredient, but the compound is newfangled, yes {sniffing), and ill mixed. Alcihiades. You can’t possibly scent him at this distance. Not even a dog could. For a Christian he is rather well washed. Democritus. Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him. The Stranger might be as clean as a river-god, who cannot live out of running water, and I should not be prevented from discerning the odor of his thoughts.
