L'histoire de la couleur bleue dans les sociétés européennes est celle d'un complet renversement : pour les Grecs et les Romains, cette couleur compte peu ; elle est même désagréable à l'œil. Or aujourd'hui, partout en Europe, le bleu est de très loin la couleur préférée (devant le vert et le rouge). L'ouvrage de Michel Pastoureau raconte l'histoire de ce renversement, en insistant sur les pratiques sociales de la couleur (étoffes et vêtements, vie quotidienne, symboles) et sur sa place dans la création littéraire et artistique, depuis les sociétés antiques et médiévales jusqu'à l'époque moderne.

L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps ; une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne ; une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique.

Michel de Montaigne was a contemporary of Shakespeare who, after having played his part in France's terrible wars of religion, retired to his estates and decided to write about what he knew best--himself. And so in his likes and dislikes, his reflections on history, his loves and his travels, he brought to life, not just one man, but all human experience. "What do I know?" he asked. If not himself and his own soul, then nothing else.

Memento Mori is a 33-canto poetic meditation on the oldest lesson: remember that you will die—and therefore live fully. Blending Stoic reflection, Hindu cyclicality, and a dash of Nietzschean fire, the text guides readers through a daily ritual of symbolic “death” at night and conscious “rebirth” at dawn. The practice is presented as disciplined renewal, not morbidity: no anecdotes, no self-help cheerleading—just muscular verse that invites you to release yesterday, meet tomorrow unburdened, and compound small acts of courage into lasting character. Inside you’ll find a mythic...
