Die Berufung auf die indische kosmologische Lehre im Advaita dient dazu, manch eine Lücke zu füllen, die den Nachvollzug der Aristotelischen Kosmologie in De caelo erschwert. Ein solcher Nachvollzug ist jedoch entscheidend für das Verstehen der Aristotelischen Bewegungslehre. Die so erfolgende Auseinandersetzung lotet die Bewegungslehre in ihrer theoretischen wie moralischen Dimension aus.

Das Denken des Advaita und des Tantra führt auf je eigenem Wege zur Wahrheit vom Eins-Seienden und zielt damit auf jene Einsicht ab, die den Menschen dazu befähigt, aus ihr heraus zu handeln.

Man darf, mit anderen Worten, v...

Dice el autor en su prólogo: En España cada vez sirve de menos desmentir una información o desbaratar una creencia o echar por tierra una teoría, o explicar algo pacientemente, o rebatir opiniones, o demostrar lo ridículo o absurdo de una postura o de una costumbre o de una política. O razonar, en suma. Y así, la realidad española se repite infatigablemente, con una tendencia enfermiza a no escuchar ni enmendarse casi nunca, todavía menos a re...

Tutto comincia con un vecchio giudice che vive in una dimora cadente di Kalimpong, alle falde dell'Himalaya orientale, col suo misero cuoco e una cagnetta, Brac, che del giudice sembra l'unico amore. Ma questo terzetto in apparenza dimesso diventa, con l'arrivo della nipote del giudice, Sai, l'epicentro di un terremoto narrativo: dalla New York degli anni Ottanta, dove il figlio del cuoco lavora in una sfilza di ristoranti mandando al padre no...

Die Interpretation von Penthesilea und Das Käthchen von Heilbronn legt die Diskussion über die Gabe in beiden Texten frei. Das zeigt sich z.B. an der Gebärdensprache, an den Zeichen der Hingabe, an Formen und Symbolen des Gebens und Nehmens, am Gelingen und Scheitern der dialogischen Versuche, an der Nähe von Rhetorik und Gewalt.
