Bøger af Roger-Pol Droit

Di tu nombre en voz alta, en una habitación vacía. Viaja en tren sin fijar un destino. Imagina que el mundo acaba en veinte segundos. Mata a alguien con la imaginación. Imagina un romance con aquella persona del metro. >Roger-Pol Droit, consejero de Filosofía de la UNESCO, plantea una tabla de 101 ejercicios mentales para que tu mundo nunca vuelva a ser el mismo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Say your name aloud to yourself in a quiet room. Imagine peeling an apple in your mind. Take the subway without trying to get anywhere. The simple meditations in this book have the potential to shake us awake from our preconceived certainties: our own identity, the stability of the outside world, the meanings of words. At once entertaining and startling, irreverent and wise, this book will provoke moments of awareness for readers in any situation and in all walks of life. Enter the space of your favorite painting. Watch someone sleeping. The world won't look the same again.

Buddhism today is generally perceived by the West as a religion of compassion and tolerance, but as Roger-Pol Droit reveals, the 19th century European philosophical imagination saw Buddhism as a religion of annihilation calling for the destruction of the self.
