Provocadores Y Paganos: El Asombroso Viaje del Humanismo / Humanly Possible - Paperback
Description
by Sarah Bakewell (Author), Joan Andreano Weyland (Translator)
Un relato épico del humanismo y sus representantes, y una encendida reivindicación de la libertad de pensamiento.
Hombre soy, y nada humano me es ajeno , sentenció Terencio. Sarah Bakewell se inspira en la famosa máxima del comediógrafo latino para trazar una deslumbrante historia del pensamiento humanista, que al final se convierte casi en toda la historia de la humanidad: desde los griegos pasando por el Renacimiento italiano, la Ilustración francesa, los pensadores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, hasta llegar a nuestros días, la desalentadora época del transhumanismo y la IA.
Con un tono ágil, un sinfín de anécdotas, mucho ritmo y enorme erudición, nuestra autora reivindica el pensamiento basado en la cultura, la avidez por la sabiduría que late en los libros, el vínculo entre iguales, pero también en la felicidad, lo secular, la educación y la convivencia.
Un extraordinario compendio de las virtudes humanistas al alcance de todo el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An epic account of humanism and its leading figures, and a passionate defense of freedom of thought.
"I am human, and nothing human is alien to me," declared Terence. Sarah Bakewell draws inspiration from this famous maxim of the Roman playwright to craft a brilliant history of humanist thought--one that ultimately becomes almost a history of humanity itself: from the Greeks through the Italian Renaissance, the French Enlightenment, and the thinkers of World War II, all the way to our present day, marked by the unsettling era of transhumanism and artificial intelligence.
With a lively tone, countless anecdotes, dynamic pacing, and remarkable erudition, the author champions a way of thinking grounded in culture, the hunger for knowledge found in books, and the bonds between people, while also celebrating happiness, secular values, education, and coexistence.
An outstanding compendium of humanist virtues within everyone's reach.
