George Santayana: un filósofo para entender el presente.

 George Santayana es tan desconocido en España como en EE.UU, donde enseñó durante veinte años en Harvard. Su obra es como un mensaje dentro de una botella que ha llegado hasta el presente para abrirnos los ojos. Lejos de ser el "viejo filósofo", como recuerda el post que se reproduce aquí le llamaba Wallace Stevens, es el filósofo del presente más poético que existe. Ser capaz de celebrar la belleza, el amor y el humor a pesar de haberse decepcionado del mundo es una postura a aprender de este inmenso y discreto maestro. Las esencias están ahí, frente a nosotros, esperando que las contemplemos y nos emocionemos: esa es su mayor enseñanza. https://sendasydivagaciones.blogspot.com/2010/09/george-santayana-y-jorge-guillen.html Gracias Juan Antonio Millón, autor del blog

La historia de la arquitectura moderna de Walter Curt Behrendt

 La historia de la arquitectura moderna de Walter Curt Behrendt, publicada en 1937, ya hablaba de que la arquitectura de Le Corbusier y Mies van der Rohe estaba acabada. No se le reconoce a la arquitectura moderna la posibilidad que sí se le reconoce al clasicismo griego, que ha durado siglos y ha revivido en movimientos como el Neoclacisismo y el postmodernismo. El libro de Behrendt está excelentemente escrito y argumentado. y se puede consultar en este link

Gray and The end of Liberalism

Starting a New Year is a good excuse for seeing with fresh eyes what we are going through in our world. Liberalism, the complex set of ideas that are behind the liberal democracies we have enjoyed in the West for almost a century now, is gone. And it is not gone because authoritarianism has defeated it, it is gone because of its inner contradictions. An expert in Liberalism, as John Gray (he spent 20 years of his academic life investigating it) has a precise diagnosis of what has happened. This lecture at his former university is extremely valuable to refresh our view of declining Western World.
