But in my conversations in Europe, I've noticed people connect because of our differences. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . When I moved to Europe, I noticed that conversations felt differentI moved to Europe seven years ago and spent time in Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, and the UK. I'm currently living in Portugal, and during my time abroad, I've noticed that conversational glue tends to be of a different nature. Though I'm not sure there's a correct answer, I've found beauty in seeing others through the lenses of both our similarities and our differences.

☆ ECB core obsession raises risk of policy mistake

Headline inflation in the euro zone has halved in the past nine months and was 5.3% in July. Granted, both headline and core inflation are currently above the ECB’s 2% target. In fact, core tends to follow headline inflation because its narrower composition makes it stickier. That’s because, as the chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve Jerome Powell said recently, headline inflation is “really what the public experiences”. ECB President Christine Lagarde has pledged to be “data-dependent”.

THE VISIONARIES: Arendt, Beauvoir, Rand, Weil, and the Power of Philosophy in Dark Times, by Wolfram Eilenberger. If hell is other people, then so, too, is this world. “Around us other people circled, pleasant, odious or ridiculous: They had no eyes with which to observe me. I alone could see.”It’s a quote that Wolfram Eilenberger uses to potent effect in “The Visionaries,” which traces the lives of four philosophers in the tumultuous decade before 1943. Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt and Ayn Rand: Each addressed the foundational question of the relationship between the self and others, between “I” and “we,” only to arrive at wildly different conclusions.

In 2020, English-speaking readers got “Time of the Magicians: Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Cassirer, Heidegger and the Decade that Reinvented Philosophy,” a celebrated biography of the interwar period as seen by some of the biggest Teutons to take on the life of the mind. Now, the German writer is back with another Mount Rushmore of philosophy, translated by Shaun Whiteside. The ideological mash-up of Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Ayn Rand, and Simone Weil may seem oil and water, but their responses to the world around them helps Eilenberger illuminate a fateful decade — 1933 to 1943 — terrifying years for Europe and an eventful period for these monumental thinkers.

☆ Când Isus nu e Hristos. Evanghelia după Liiceanu
▼ + stars: | 2020-05-26 | by ( Mihail Neamtu | ) adevarul.ro time to read: +9 min

De aici şi tristeţea noastră, ba chiar dezamăgirea şi gustul amar: deşi scrisă îngrijit, ultima carte a lui Gabriel Liiceanu e mai puţin o meditaţie despre Salvator Mundi, cât o răfuială cu scăderile, neputinţele sau erorile creştinismului instituţional. Nici la acest volum Gabriel Liiceanu nu simte nevoia să facă vreo referinţă. Dincolo însă de pedanteria obiecţiilor academice, îi reproşăm autorului altceva: faptul că n-a înţeles că, vrei, nu vrei, atunci când vorbeşti despre Iisus faci teologie. Gabriel Liiceanu accesează un Isus altfel — un personaj special, dezvăluit filozofului prin mecanisme hermeneutice străine „habotnicilor”, „pocăiţilor” sau „pupătorilor de moaşte” (cum e la modă să fie numiţi creştinii în lumea bună). De ce tocmai Iisus a afirmat: „Înainte de Avraam, «Eu sunt... »” – iată un enunţ de-o greutate ontologică lipsită de răspuns din partea filozofului.
