Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An invitation to readers from every walk of life to rediscover the impractical splendors of a life of learningIn an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatcher, or someone who takes a deep interest in one of countless other subjects. Drawing on inspiring examples, from Socrates and Augustine to Malcolm X and Elena Ferrante, and from films to Hitz's own experiences as someone who walked away from elite university life in search of greater fulfillment, Lost in Thought is a passionate and timely reminder that a rich life is a life rich in thought.Today, when even the humanities are often defended only for their economic or political usefulness, Hitz says our intellectual lives are valuable not despite but because of their practical uselessness. And while anyone can have an intellectual life, she encourages academics in particular to get back in touch with the desire to learn for its own sake, and calls on universities to return to the person-to-person transmission of the habits of mind and heart that bring out the best in us.Reminding us of who we once were and who we might become, Lost in Thought is a moving account of why renewing our inner lives is fundamental to preserving our humanity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is happiness Does life have a meaning If so, is that meaning available in an ordinary life The philosopher Zena Hitz confronted these questions head-on when she spent several years living in a Christian religious community. Religious life -- the communal life chosen by monks, nuns, friars, and hermits -- has been a part of global Christianity since earliest times, but many of us struggle to understand what could drive a person to renounce wealth, sex, children, and ambition to live a life of prayer and sacrifice. Hitz's lively and accessible book explores questions about faith, sacrifice, asceticism and happiness through philosophy, stories, and examples from religious life. Drawing on personal experience as well as film, literature, history, biography, and theology, it demystifies an important element of contemporary culture, and provides a picture of human flourishing and happiness which challenges and enriches modern-day life.…

Zustand: Nuevo. En un mundo hiperconectado, superficial y tecnológico, en el que se juzga casi todo y a casi todos por su utilidad, ¿a qué lugar es posible acudir para retirarnos, disfrutar con sosiego, contemplar y vincularnos de nuevo con los demás Aunque existen muchas formas de ocio para atender estas necesidades, pocas experiencias llenan tanto como la vida interior ùescribe Zena Hitzù, sea la del «ratón de biblioteca», la del astrónomo aficionado, el observador de aves, o la de cualquiera que tenga un interés profundo en alguno de los incontables temas que atraen al pensamiento. A partir de ejemplos inspiradores, desde Sócrates y san Agustín hasta Malcolm X y Elena Ferrante, desde películas hasta las propias experiencias personales de Hitz, que abandonó la vida de elite universitaria en búsqueda de una mayor realización, Pensativos es un recordatorio apasionado y oportuno de que una vida rica en el ámbito del pensamiento es una vida plena. Una invitación a aprender por el mero placer de hacerlo y a renovar nuestra vida interior para preservar nuestra humanidad. «Pensativos es una conmovedora declaración de fe en el.…
