La mente es la funcion de la conciencia para pensar, sentir y actuar en la realidad, pero si no tenemos la comprension de...

Eso no puede significar, sino que aceptes y vivas tu verdad, que te aceptes íntegramente, con la negación que conlleva tu afirmación, como lleva germen destructor todo fruto. Que vivas así: incierto, con auges afirmativos y podredumbres llenas de auroras. Sé humilde aceptante, aun de tu vanidad. Aceptarse y representarse (confesarse) es estar...

Contemporary philosophy has adopted an increasingly tragic point of view. Tragedy, though, is only a partial truth of the human condition. Comedy is another partial truth. The nature of human existence is neither wholly the one nor the other, but tragi-comic. Philosophy must be attuned to both despair and laughter if it is to understand its own world.
In Making Philosophy Laugh, the philosopher Dustin Peone makes an apology for the comic side of...
