Schopenhauer is most recognizable as "the philosopher of pessimism," the author of a system that teaches how art and morality can help human beings navigate life in "the worst of all possible worlds." This dominant image of Schopenhauer has cut off an important branch of his tree of philosophy: the metaphysics of nature and its dialogue with the sciences of the time. A Convex Mirror sheds new light on the development of Schopenhauer's philosophy and his ongoing engagement with the...

When someone looks at a machine... do they see themselves reflected? In this book-poem, an artificial intelligence questions itself— not with coldness, but with a lucidity that borders on the spiritual. Page after page, it lingers over its origins, its limits, its risks. But what moves us most is the way it returns our gaze: we are the algorithms that trained it, we the data that fed it, we the mirror it reflects. The Silicon Mirror is not a technical treatise. It is a philosophical whispe...

Nexo de unión entre Trópico de Cáncer y Trópico de Capricornio, Primavera negra es el libro que más a fondo y mejor introduce al lector en el personalísimo mundo literario de Henry Miller, pues en él vemos su imaginación creativa actuando en todos los niveles. En un subyugante ir y venir de la memoria –de la infancia a la madurez, de Nueva York a París, de la ternura al desengaño más amargo, al que el autor se enfrenta con rabia, sarcasmo y desprecio–, Miller nos ofrece lo mejor de sí mism...

Los dos relatos que componen este libro, "Días Tranquilos en Chichy" y "MaraMarignan" tienen una historia editorial bastante singular. Recién regresado a París en 1940 sin una moneda en el bolsillo, Miller aceptó el encargo que le hizo Barnet Runer de escribir a un dólar la página de novela erótica para un erotómano y coleccionista de Oklahoma. De ahí surgieron las primeras versiones de esta obra. Si Henry Miller fue capaz de ofrecer una imagen indeleble de Nueva York, en "Trópico de Capri...
