This book is a collection of essays on the colonial history of Mato Grosso, created soon after the doctorate as a kind of intellectual provocation for various questions and problems encountered during the research on the decline of mining and the slow formation of a new society. We begin with four essays more focused on what we understand as the historian's revenge, based on Walter Benjamin's Angel of History. Then follow several short essays on the colonial towns of Mato Grosso, mainly Cuiabá and Vila Bela. Finally, we address isolated issues such as smuggling, women in the colonial period, historiographical tradition, slavery, and mining. These essays aim more to provoke intellectual debate than to present some complete conclusion about something. They should be understood as a starting point and not as a point of arrival.

" Ein Dorfpostamt in Österreich unterscheidet sich wenig vom andern: wer eines gesehen, kennt sie alle. In der gleichen franziskojosephischen Zeit aus dem gleichen Fundus mit den gleichen kärglichen Einrichtungs- gegenständen bedacht oder vielmehr uniformiert, entäußern sie allerorts den gleichen mürrischen Eindruck ärarischer Verdrossenheit, und bis un- ter den Atem der Gletscher, in die abgelegensten Gebirgsdörfer Tirols bewahren sie hartnäckig jenen unverkennbaren altösterreichischen Amtsgeruch aus kaltem Knaster und muffigem Aktenstaub. Überall ist die Raumeinteilung die gleiche: in einem genau vorgeschriebenen Verhältnis teilt eine vertikale, mit Glasscheiben durchbrochene Holzwand das Zim- mer in ein Diesseits und Jenseits, in eine allgemein zugängliche und in die dienstliche Sphäre. Daß der Staat auf ein längeres Verweilen seiner Bürger innerhalb der allgemein zugänglichen Abteilung geringes Ge- wicht legt, wird durch das Fehlen von Sitzgelegenheiten und jeder sonstigen Bequemlichkeit augenfällig. Als einziges Möbel lehnt im Publikumsraum meist nur ein zittriges Stehpult ängstlich an der Wand, den rissigen Wachsleinwandüberzug von unzähligen Tintentränen geschwärzt, ob- wohl sich niemand erinnern kann, jemals in dem eingesenkten Tintenfaß etwas anderes als eingedickten, mulmigen, schreibuntauglichen Brei wahrgenommen zu haben, und wenn zufällig eine Feder zur Stelle in der gehöhlten Rinne liegt, so erweist sie sich zuverlässig als abgespragelt und schreibuntauglich."

"The Philosophy Of Spinoza" by Benedictus De Spinoza - A Rational Exploration of God, Nature, and Human ExistenceDelve into the thought-provoking realm of "The Philosophy Of Spinoza", a monumental work by Dutch philosopher Benedictus De Spinoza. Known for his elaborate system of thought, Spinoza offers readers a unique lens through which to explore the relationship between God, nature, and human existence.Underpinning Spinoza's philosophy is a commitment to rationalism and a rejection of traditional religious dogmas. In this text, Spinoza boldly asserts that God and the universe are one and the same - a concept known as 'pantheism'. The individual's place in this world, according to Spinoza, is dictated by natural laws, just like everything else in the universe.Further, Spinoza challenges prevailing beliefs about free will, asserting that human beings are driven by their passions and their understanding of their own interest, thus undermining the traditional view of humans as free agents. He advocates for a life led by reason, which he sees as the path to true freedom and happiness.Spinoza's groundbreaking ideas, encapsulated in "The Philosophy Of Spinoza", continue to be a source of debate and reflection for modern philosophers and scholars. His work invites readers to question and rethink their understanding of God, nature, and the human condition.
