Setting the World Aright

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Luis E. Navia provides a comprehensive examination of the ideas and contributions of a Greek philosopher who was influential in the development of classical Cynicism. Based on both primary and secondary sources as well as the findings of modern scholarship, it is a unique contribution to the study of Antisthenes. An important philosopher, only two English-language books about him have been published in the last eighty years. With his clear and accessible narrative style, Navia succeeds in reconstructing Antisthenes' biography resurrecting this ancient philosopher's ideas as still relevant to this day. Navia describes an integral moment in the history of Greek philosophy--the presence of Antisthenes as a student of the Sophists, an associate of Socrates, and the originator of the Cynic movement. This detailed study of the principal sources, includes an index of relevant names, a bibliography of over two hundred and fifty titles, and an appendix consisting of an extensively annotated translation of Diogenes Laertius' biography of Antisthenes.

Autorenporträt

Here we will find the family heritage Latin recipes that represent the healthy, the typical, the Creole of the Valle del Cauca (Colombia), where the author was born and grew up until his adolescence, within a beautiful family that represents the autochthonous, the original of a region of contrasts. Valle del Cauca gastronomy has its history since before the Spanish conquest, and of course new guidelines are set that have already imprinted what we qualify as typical of the entire country with indigenous influences, local products, Spanish cooking techniques, and even a medium Arab touch, Lebanese, and also African. The Colombian food that we know today and that we call typical is a mixture of the best of each culture and represents them all. Here the Engineer Navia teaches us to balance our body energy schemes based on what we eat daily. It helps us to maintain a healthy diet, based on the inheritance of those recipes that we have received from our ancestors, almost always transmitted verbally but not least important because it represents exclusively 100% natural flavors bringing happiness in healthy meals and recipes that for centuries brings us a lot of freedom and energy balance of culture and customs beautifully integrated with happy and friendly people who share and bring these delicacies to the world.
