Surprisingly different

 

Since ancient times, we have been concerned with the ars vivendi – ‘the art of living’. What is it that makes up the art of living? This book aims to provide inspiration on this topic: from A to Z, in 69 miniatures; sometimes factual or poetic, aesthetic or culturally critical – depending on the keyword. What all the texts have in common is that they are intended to give more depth to everyday life. This is also connected with the hope that it will become clear what constitutes the unspeakable; there is more to life than pure reason.    

 

‘Since antiquity, we have been concerned with the ars vivendi – “the art of living”. What does it comprise? This book aims to offer some suggestions: from A to Z, in 69 vignettes. The texts are intended to give everyday life more depth.’ Frank Berzbach
