La vida se compone de una sucesión de instantes muy bien entrelazados a través del tiempo y del espacio, y si permitimos que esos instantes se desvanezcan sin vivirlos, disfrutarlos, estaremos perdiendo la esencia de la vida. El futuro se convierte en presente, y el presente se convierte en pasado con una rapidez extraordinaria. Si no despertamos nuestra conciencia y aprendemos a vivir esos instantes, la vida se escurrirá entre nuestros dedos sin haberla disfrutado. El libro Instantes te hace reflexionar y te ayuda a tomar las riendas de tu vida antes de que el presente se esfume para siempre.
Instantes surge como una pagina dominical de reflexiones, que dará un mensaje de aliento y contribuirá a llenar el gran vacio existencial que se esta viviendo, a través de relatos de situaciones de la vida diaria, donde se presentaran propuestas para ser mejores, con muchas ideas, entrevistas sobre temas de desarrollo humano, poemas y pensamientos para inspirar el espíritu y lo mas importante: La sabiduría de Tony de Melo, Ricardo Bulmes, Luis Jorge González, y muchos más. Mi anhelo es pues que aquilates instantes de felicidad, como nos dice Jorge Luis Borges en este pensamiento que inspiro el nombre de la página
In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten hat die Metapher in der Philosophie zunehmend Beachtung gefunden und wurde zu einem zentralen Thema, mit dem Kant sich in seiner kritischen Philosophie in Begriffen von Analogie und Symbolisierung beschäftigt. Sein Beitrag zur Entwicklung unseres Verständnisses der Rolle, die Bilder, Metaphern und Symbole in theoretischer und praktischer Hinsicht leisten, ist bedeutend; zudem ist Kant selber auch als Schöpfer von Metaphern weithin bekannt. Symbole, Analogien und ästhetische Ideen sind unleugbar metaphorische Verfahren, die eine ebenso grundlegende wie systematische Funktion in Kants philosophischer Sprache einnehmen. – Dieser Sammelband ist das Ergebnis einer neueren Initiative seitens einer internationalen Gruppe von mit Kant befassten Philosophen und Kant-Spezialisten, um die Erforschung von Themen zu befördern, die noch nicht umfassend bearbeitet sind. Das trifft mit Sicherheit auf die „Metapher“-Thematik in Kants Philosophie zu, der der vorliegende Band gewidmet ist. In recent decades, metaphor has become a respectable and central theme in philosophy. In his critical philosophy, Kant treats this theme in terms of the notions of analogy and symbolization. In addition to contributing significantly to the development of our understanding of the role played by images, metaphors and symbols in both theoretical and practical issues, Kant is also widely recognized as a great creator of metaphors in his own right. Symbols, analogies and aesthetic ideas are undeniably metaphorical processes, which fulfill a function in Kant’s philosophical language that is as fundamental as it is systematic. This collected volume is the result of a recent initiative on the part of an international group of Kantian philosophers and scholars to promote research on topics that have yet to be thoroughly explored in academic research. This is certainly true of the topic of metaphor in Kant’s philosophy, to which the present volume is devoted.
Before the Riders came to their remote valley the Yendri led a tranquil pastoral life. When the Riders conquered and enslaved them, only a few escaped to the forests. Rebellion wasn't the Yendri way; they hid, or passively resisted, taking consolation in the prophecies of their spiritual leader. Only one possessed the necessary rage to fight back: Gard the foundling, half-demon, who began a one-man guerrilla war against the Riders. His struggle ended in the loss of the family he loved, and condemnation from his own people. Exiled, he was taken as a slave by powerful mages ruling an underground kingdom. Bitterer and wiser, he found more subtle ways to earn his freedom. This is the story of his rise to power, his vengeance, his unlikely redemption and his maturation into a loving father--as well as a lord and commander of demon armies. Kage Baker, author of the popular and witty fantasy, The Anvil of the World, returns to that magical world for another story of love, adventure, and a fair bit of ironic humor.
