London is now a major centre for the international art world. The only other European city that houses as many studios is not Paris but Berlin. And Berlin does not have nearly as many galleries, public or commercial, which feature the latest developments in contemporary art.

How we eat, farm and shop for food is not only a matter of taste. Our choices regarding what we eat involve every essential aspect of our human nature: the animal, the sensuous, the social, the cultural, the creative, the emotional and the intellectual. Thinking seriously about food requires us to consider our relationship to nature, to our fellow animals, to each other and to ourselves. So can thinking about food teach us about being virtuous, and can what we eat help us to decide how to live?

Az ember a természetnek vagy apja, vagy megrablója. Ezt az ősi iráni tudást Darwin nem ismerte. A létért folytatott mészárlás tanában azonban nem jelenik meg egyetlen Mozart-akkord, Giotto tájkép, vagy Pascal-aforizma sem. A világ újkori kirablásával szemben a vallás, a tudomány, a filozófia készületlenül állt. Egyedül a mûvészet tudta megôrizni a humánum "alapállását". Művésznek lenni azt jelenti: túlemelkedni a téridőbe szorított életen. A művészet egyetemes távlatot nyit, és a létünket átható homályba bevilágít.

“Cranes Over Smog” follows the personal journey of the protagonist, who reflects on their life as they find themselves in a remote, harsh environment. Through vivid imagery and introspective narrative, the book paints a picture of both the physical and emotional landscapes the protagonist navigates. The story weaves in themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the clash between personal dreams and the stark realities of life. Set against the backdrop of post-Soviet cities and nomadic landscapes, the novel explores how ambition and the modern world intersect with personal identity and ...

En Contramundo, el escritor Carlos Marín-Blázquez acomete una difícil tarea de deconstrucción civilizatoria. Con golpes secos y certeros que se encarnan en líricos aforismos, derriba las falacias y las iniquidades sobre las que se ha erigido la torre de Babel contemporánea. «Nuestro objetivo ha de ser modesto: no transformar, sino desenmascarar», dice el autor. Sin embargo, la naturaleza de su obra no es meramente destructiva; de serlo, el lector pasaría la última página exánime, sumido en una paralizante desazón. Y no ocurre así. Quien termine de leer Contramundo se ...

Au fil d’une trentaine de textes lumineux, mettant en scène ses propres expériences esthétiques, Laurence Devillairs tente d’élucider le mystère de la rencontre avec la beauté et nous invite à réapprendre à voir le beau, qui nous échappe souvent par manque de temps ou conformisme. Elle propose pour cela des « exercices d’esthétiques appliqués » - tenter d’apprécier ce qu’on n’aime pas, voyager comme Bouvier sans attentes ni plans, accomplir non pas une bonne action mais un beau geste.

Art is a distinct entity. It has its own characteristic, its own function, its own role to play in society. It must be afforded the status and identity it rightly deserves in a world that is becoming ever more needful of its existence. “Art”, however, has increasingly become a catch-all term. Intended primarily for artists of all colours and flavours, as well as art appreciators, this audiobook aims to free up the thinking of the artist – or indeed anyone – by opening their eyes to many unexamined assumptions, and thereby questioning the validity of strongly-held views.

Was geschieht, wenn wir Kant nicht mehr als marmornes Denkmal, sondern als lebendigen Menschen lesen? Diese Frage bildet den Kern dieses Buches. Immanuel Kants Philosophie war niemals dazu bestimmt, als unverrückbares Dogma verehrt zu werden. Sie war ein kritisches Projekt, ein Versuch, die Grenzen der Vernunft sichtbar zu machen und Werkzeuge für weiteres Denken zu schaffen.

Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti) is widely deemed to have been the preeminent spiritual master of the 20th Century.
