Piet Meeuse studeerde Nederlands MO-A en filosofie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij studeerde af met een doctoraalscriptie over een taaltheorie van Novalis. Zijn eigen werk, dat verschijnt bij de Bezige Bij, bestaat uit essays, verhalen en romans. Voor De jacht op Proteus ontving hij in 1993 de Busken Huetprijs en voor Doorkijkjes: over de werkelijkheid van beelden de Jan Greshoff-prijs (1996). Meeuse vertaalde daarnaast Paul Valéry, Francis Ponge, Milan Kundera, Hermann Broch, Hans Magnus Enzensberger en eveneens Gaston Bachelard (onder andere Vliegdroom en Het Nest). Ook was Meeuse lid van de adviesraad van het Letterenfonds en is hij sinds 2003 als docent essayistiek verbonden aan de Schrijversvakschool te Amsterdam.

Žijeme v nihilistické době? Soudě podle toho, jak se politici předhánějí v tom, kolikrát v jejich projevech zazní slovo hodnoty, ano. Vždyť kdybychom věděli, kudy kam, nemuseli bychom se jimi zaklínat. Příznačné je, že už samo slovo, respektive jeho původ signalizuje bezradnost. Společnost si obrat „hodnoty“ vypůjčila z ekonomického slovníku v době, kdy se tradiční náboženské rámce rozpadly a nic nového nebylo na obzoru. Z původně ekonomického pojmu s širokým uplatněním – viz kalorické hodnoty – se stalo náboženství po náboženství. Tereza Matějčková ve svém novém podcastu líčí, kterak pojem hodnoty vyrostl z dezorientace poté, co byl slovy Friedricha Nietzscheho zabit Bůh. Po smrti Boha víme, že vše absolutní patří do patologie. Výraz hodnoty užívá německý myslitel jako náhradu za absolutno. Kdo má hodnoty, ví, že musí přehodnocovat. Ze své podstaty jsou totiž relativní. Je jich vždy více, vztahují se k něčemu, co se jimi hodnotí, a je tedy zapotřebí zjišťovat, jaké hodnoty v dané situaci aktivovat.Ale Nietzsche se také obával, že se moderní člověk přehodnocováním brzy unaví a propadne nihilismu, tedy přesvědčení, že je-li vše nejisté, nic nemá cenu. Tehdy hrozí, že se hodnoty promění v povrchní verze náboženství. Už nevěříme v Boha, ale třeba ve svobodu a důstojnost. Tyto hodnoty přitom klademe proti světu, kterému máme za zlé, že vše dobré a pravdivé udusává. Hodnoty stejně jako náboženství vykupují ze světa, v němž často nevíme, kudy kam, protože je to půda relativity. Do takto pojatých hodnot nepromlouvá světská relativnost, jenže proto jsou také marné a dosvědčují kulturní ztrátu. Je to verbální přihlášení se k dobru, které z člověka jako by snímalo úsilí o charakter, postoj, smysl. Ostatně je nápadné, že se spolu s inflací hodnot z veřejného života i naší každodennosti vytratily řeči o ctnostech. Jenže kdo nemá základní ctnosti – tedy moudrost, spravedlnost, přiměřenost a odvahu –, nemůže správně pracovat s hodnotami. Hodnoty, v nichž je život i smysl, si v sobě nesou vnitřní rozpornost, a my musíme tudíž – moudře, spravedlivě, přiměřeně a odvážně – zkoumat, jak se sada našich hodnot vztahuje ke konkrétní situaci.Vezměme si třeba tolik vzývanou svobodu. Má v sobě něco ze svéhlavosti, ale kdyby byla svoboda jen svéhlavá, brzo bychom zničili společnou půdu, na níž jsme svobodní. Proto je třeba zohlednit i to, že svoboda v sobě nese odpovědnost. Jenže kdyby byla svobody jen odpovědností, zaniklo by něco z její destruktivní síly, která ke svobodě také patří – a liberální společnosti to vědí. Máme dostatek studií o tom, jak bolestivě dopadají rozvody na děti, psychicky, fyzicky, finančně, a přesto jsme přesvědčeni, že lidem musím dopřát svobodu jít, přesněji: nikdo jim ji nedopřává. Liberální společnosti uznávají, že tuto svobodu vždy již mají.Pochopíme-li hodnoty jako protest proti nejistému, relativnímu světu, v němž vládnou odstíny šedi, stane se z nich falešná měna, z nichž lze sice spíchnout lecjaké proslovy, ale oslovit tím lze málokoho. Ne proto, že by takové hodnoty byly tak laciné, ale proto, že se jimi nic neříká. Proč pro jednou nevzývat ctnosti?KapitolyI. My, noví nihilisté [začátek až 6:40]II. Lze věřit ateisticky?

Desta vez, subimos uns galhos para respirar outra coisa, para desoxidar a alma do imobilismo lisboeta, deram-nos margem para uma breve digressão, para ir saber a que distância ainda é possível estender a voz, desenterrar os ossos de alguns ecos, isto sendo certo que o exercício de um discurso crítico ou artístico só pode ter algum papel assim que se desenvencilhe de privilégios. Tende a ficar claro que, hoje, só o que está em fuga permanece, apenas aquilo que não se resolve diante de si mesmo, no sufoco do seu reflexo, só aquilo que absorve os elementos de discórdia ao seu redor, tem alguma possibilidade de se autonomizar face ao presente. Como alertava Heiner Müller, que quisemos arrastar na bagageira, as obras de arte tenderão a ser prisões e as obras-primas cúmplices do poder. Pelo contrário, bebendo a sua água feroz pelas mãos do quotidiano, os grandes textos “trabalham para a liquidação da sua autonomia, produto do deboche com a propriedade privada, trabalham para a expropriação e, em última análise, para o desaparecimento do autor”. Devemos cair nas coisas dos outros, viver a relação mais íntima, ser as pulgas insaciáveis da tradição e dos mortos, retomar-lhes os textos à semelhança deste inclemente montador, atacar os grandes reservatórios, alimentar a distância mais persuasiva, restaurar as propriedades perdidas, inventá-las. A propósito, eis uns versos de Novalis dedicados a um outro poeta que lhe permitiu uma visão de magnífica abertura: “Quando a chave de toda a criatura/ seja mais do que número e figura,/ e quando esses que beijam com os lábios,/ e os cantores, sejam mais que os sábios,/ e quando o mundo inteiro, intenso, vibre/ devolvido ao viver da vida livre,/ e quando luz e sombra, sempre unidas,/ celebrem núpcias íntimas, luzidas,/ quando em lendas e líricas canções/ escreverem a história das nações,/ então, a palavra misteriosa/ destruirá toda a essência mentirosa.” Hoje, e para efeitos de delimitação de zonas exclusivas, o próprio ar do tempo mal circula, vive-se segundo fórmulas de confinamento, e o espaço de comunicação representa cada vez mais uma unidade insonsa, toda uma estrutura putrescente cai sobre nós, e o sentido que este tempo busca resolve-se contra a memória, impregnando de mentiras e vícios a linguagem. A única promessa que se fazem os imbecis é que muito em breve já não haverá quem possa fazer a outro sentir o peso da vergonha, envergonhar-se seja do que for. Até nisso vamos perdendo o sentido do religioso, e mesmo aquela voluptuosidade que Novalis ligava em particular à religião cristã, notando que “o pecado é o maior atractivo do amor divino – quanto mais um homem se sente pecador, mais cristão é”. Mas em breve mesmo o sentido moral cairá inteiramente em desuso, esse sentido que ele nos diz ser contínuo ao poder criador absoluto, o da liberdade produtiva, da personalidade infinita, do microcosmos, da divindade real em nós. Hoje, pelo contrário, só resta a hiena, esse animal alegórico da matemática que, de acordo com Müller, sabe não haver resto e cujo deus é o zero. Em breve, não restará nada, nada a não ser a própria gramática da disputa, daqueles que se fazem a guerra mesmo por ninharias, e já o vemos nos supostos criadores, esse medo persistente dos que esperam fazer valer os seus títulos de propriedade no reino do espírito. Não haverá mais nada senão a própria escassez, o sentido da falta a incitar-nos aos gestos mais rudes e degradantes, a uma convivência ritmada pela agressão, a razão apenas instruída para devorar tudo, submeter tudo, alimentar-se da carne do outro. Não restará nada, nenhum sonho dentro do sonho, nem um sonho nosso para os mortos. Nem haverá grande necessidade de nomes, a linguagem será ela mesma a ilustração de um esmagamento, contracções sucessivas, e nem haverá orações nem túmulos, apenas o gasto inútil de quem se desfaz entre gritos. Ver um bando de homens amatilhados será a pior das imagens de terror para aqueles que estão em desvantagem. Nenhum nome os defenderá, nenhuma súplica será atendida. Neste episódio, além da respiração assistida que nos foi dada por aqueles que estiveram connosco e de um modo ou de outro participaram na discussão, pudemos desenhar em redor do tão instigante e sagaz percurso crítico de Pedro Levi Bismarck uma relação com as transformações que se estão a operar a grande velocidade nos nossos dias, desde logo um apertar do cerco em termos do uso de uma linguagem corrosiva, que constrange o pensamento e pretende esgotar as condições de existência, levar a uma exasperação dos elementos de representação e identificação. Arquitecto, editor do jornal Punkto, Bismarck é, entre nós, um dos mais pujantes e interventivos actores na produção de um discurso cheio de balanço e um fulgor que articula uma série de saberes de forma a interrogar uma cultura e um horizonte devastados pela predação económica e pela financeirização de todos os aspectos da vida social.

Eckard Holler zeigt, dass die Bündische Jugend, nicht – wie oft behauptet wird – geschlossen Hitler zugelaufen ist. Es gab Sonderfälle, die sich todesmutig gegen die HJ stellten. So jemand ist Eberhard Koebel, genannt „tusk“, den Holler für „eine Figur von weltgeschichtlicher Bedeutung“ hält, weil er versucht hat, eine unabhängige Organisation zu schaffen, die sich nicht von staatlicher Macht missbrauchen lässt. Drei Blumen kennzeichnen sie: Die blaue Blume – ein Motiv aus einem Roman von Novalis – steht für die romantische Sehnsucht, die weiße Rose symbolisiert den Kampf gegen Hitler, und die rote Nelke ist ein Zeichen für die Hinwendung nach links. Ihre Lieder werden als „Philosophie der Jugendbewegung“ gesehen. Man fragt sich sofort: Wie steht im Vergleich dazu die Jugend von heute da? Hat sie eigene Lieder? Wie groß ist die Gefahr, missbraucht zu werden?

Stefano Rossi"Sentimenti maleducati"Coltivare l'intelligenza affettiva per insegnare ai ragazzi le cose dell'amoreFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itSe le emozioni ci vengono assegnate dalla natura, i sentimenti sono figli della cultura. Cosa accade quando la scuola si limita a istruire e la famiglia non trova le parole per educare all'empatia e alle relazioni? Lo vediamo nelle classi, sui treni, sui social, dove dilagano comportamenti guidati da sentimenti maleducati.“L'amore non si può spiegare, solo i poeti possono custodirne il segreto.” Frasi seducenti come questa di Novalis ci hanno fatto disertare l'educazione sentimentale. I comportamenti violenti, il riaffacciarsi tra i ragazzi di dinamiche relazionali ritenute superate portano il nome dell'analfabetismo sentimentale.Stefano Rossi, che della cura dei ragazzi ha fatto la sua missione, ha racchiuso in questo libro idee e suggerimenti per far fiorire l'intelligenza affettiva, intrecciando neuroscienze, arte, filosofia e psicologia. I sentimenti nocivi alla base delle trappole dell'amore, di fatto, germinano già in giovanissima età per poi esplodere nella vita adulta sotto forma di narcisismo, manipolazione, dipendenza affettiva, controllo ossessivo, adescamento, violenza e stereotipi di genere. Prevenirli e contrastarli si può.Troverete questo libro ricco di assist per nutrire il rispetto, l'attenzione e l'approccio all'altro, per insegnare il potere difensivo del “no” e la capacità di liberarsi da invidia, gelosia, paura, rancore, arroganza, che avvelenano la capacità dei nostri ragazzi di vivere relazioni sane e socialmente costruttive.Da una delle voci più coinvolgenti della psicopedagogia italiana, autore dei best seller Mio figlio è un casino e Lezioni d'amore per un figlio, una guida indispensabile all'educazione sentimentale.Stefano Rossi, psicopedagogista e conferenziere tra i più amati, è uno dei massimi esperti di educazione emotiva di bambini e adolescenti.Dopo aver lavorato come educatore di strada in contesti di marginalità e coordinato centri psicopedagogici per famiglie e minori, oggi è una voce autorevole nel panorama educativo italiano. Negli ultimi vent'anni ha formato più di ottocento scuole e oltre centomila insegnanti e genitori sugli strumenti da lui creati per l'educazione emotiva.Ogni anno da settembre a luglio è in tour nelle scuole, nelle piazze e nei teatri di tutto il Paese per far prosperare l'intelligenza emotiva nel cuore di bambini, ragazzi e adulti.Per Feltrinelli ha pubblicato Sentimenti maleducati (2024), i best seller Lezioni d'amore per un figlio (2023), Mio figlio è un casino (2022) e, indirizzato ai ragazzi, Se non credi in te, chi lo farà? (2024).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Fairy tales are among the most familiar cultural objects, so familiar that we let our kids play with them unsupervised. At the same time, they are also the most mysterious of artifacts, their heimlich giving way to unheimlich as soon as we give them a closer look and ask ourselves what they are really about. Indeed, these imaginal nomads, which seem to evade all cultural and historical capture, existing in various forms in every time and place, can become so strange as to make us wonder if they are cultural at all, and not some unexplained force of nature — the dreaming of the world. In this episode, JF and Phil use "Rapunzel" as a case study to explore the weirdness of fairy tales, illustrating how they demand interpretation without ever allowing themselves to be explained.

Vor 200 Jahren unternahm Heinrich Heine seine berühmte Harzreise (Hördauer ca. 20 Minuten) Vor zweihundert Jahren hatte der Jurastudent Heinrich Heine von den langweiligen Vorlesungen im „gelehrten Kuhstall“ Göttingen und den staubtrockenen Lehrbüchern so die Nase voll, dass er dem „Muff“ des Universitätsbetriebes entfliehen und seine angeschlagene Gesundheit stärken wollte. Harzwanderungen waren zur damaligen Zeit keine Seltenheit, sie wurden regelrecht als „Gesundheitsreisen“ angepriesen. Auch Literaten hatten den Harz bereits erkundet; so hatte der junge Goethe 1777 eine winterliche Harzreise unternommen; später bereisten auch Novalis und Ludwig Tieck das Gebirge...

In this episode we explore the correct context for understanding Kant's relation to the historical period known as “the Enlightenment” or “the Age of Reason.” On the one hand, Kant's Critique of Pure Reason may be understood as “critiquing reason to make room for faith.” On the other hand, the Method of Kant's Transcendental Philosophy reveals Spirit as the condition for the possibility of the unity of Mind and Body. We'll understand these insights by discussing what has been called “the Homeric Contest” to complete Kant's “System of Transcendental Philosophy.” The contest refers to the competition that may be witnessed in the writings of Fichte, Novalis, Hölderlin, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Hegel. Understanding this historical contextualization of Kant's philosophy makes it much easier to see that contemporary Postmodern criticisms of Kant's philosophy are not actually criticisms of Kant's philosophy. Rather, they are criticisms of Descartes' philosophy. Thus, Kant's philosophy is not the problem; Kant's philosophy is the solution to the problem(s) with Descartes' philosophy. .

Er wird um so besser lesen und schreiben, wenn er es mit 9 Jahren nicht gekonnt hat; denn wenn er mit 9 Jahren wunderschön schreiben und lesen kann, dann wird er später ein Automat, weil dem Menschen etwas Fremdes eingeimpft worden ist. Er wird ein Automat. Diejenigen werden aber Vollmenschen, die noch etwas entgegengestellt haben in ihrer Kindheit dem Lesen und Schreiben.” (S. 130f.) https://steiner.wiki/GA_302#ACHTER_VORTRAG_Stuttgart,_19._Juni_1921 Anthroposophische Evolutionsleugnung mit eigenem Institut in Witten-Herdecke: https://www.uni-wh.de/gesundheit/department-fuer-humanmedizin/lehrstuehle-institute-und-zentren/institut-fuer-evolutionsbiologie/ Studie: Anthroposophic Climate Science Denial https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20503032221075382 Oliver Nachtwey, Nadine Frei u. a.: Quellen des “Querdenkertums”.

Can Europe survive without its Christian spirit? Can the West? It's a question that's weighing on more and more intelligent people's minds, and Novalis helps us to grapple with it in a unique way. In this episode I look at three key areas--science, religion, and politics--where the secular spirit of Enlightenment humanism has exhausted itself and needs a new source of inspiration. Perhaps those sources are to be found in the middle ages, and perhaps Novalis can help us find them.

Kris begins his address with a question: "Who was Georg Philipp Friedrich Fruihwald von Hadenburg - alias Novalis?" a corruption from di Novali - "The Newcomers" - the name his ancestors gave to themselves when they settled on their land. Novalis b. 1772, was a Lutheran, (Pietist) mystic, in awe of the beauty and mystery of Nature and the universe that surrounded him. It was the beginning of the Age of Reason that applied Reason and Intellect to understand Nature and God. As a young mystic poet, novelist and philosopher, aged only 28, Novalis contracted tuberculosis or cystic fibrosis and died at 29 but had packed so much into his short life. Kris's biographical research will encourage you to listen on to find out more about the contribution of this young, free-thinker and "Unitarian", who expressed his "Thoughts - through Philosophy" and his "Feelings - through Poetry", but concluding - "Humanity is a comic role"?

John Wu Discusses Novalis' Growth and LVT Products at Surfaces 2024 by Floor Focus Magazine

Venus, Mercury, and Mars cross through the morning Milky Way, bringing to mind the inspiring words of German mystic poet Novalis.

This final installment of the organ compositions of Axel Ruoff (born in Stuttgart in 1957) presents two starkly contrasted sides of his musical personality: three of them, for voice and organ, are concerned with the spiritual – two even addressing head-on the issue of death itself – and are thus solemn and hieratic, whereas the concluding work is a whimsical, tongue-in-cheek set of variations on ‘Happy Birthday', written as a present for Ruoff's publisher on his 80th birthday.Tracks Memento creatoris tui for baritone and organ (2001) (12:43)Messe basse for soprano and organ (2015) (21:15) I.

Johnny Hambone, library bouncer and detective, worries with sidekick Rollo about the ontology of episode 5, so they call upon Novalis—again!

n this episode (originally aired by our partner Novel Dialogue) John and his Brandeis colleague Eugene Sheppard speak with Joshua Cohen about The Netanyahus. Is the 2021 novel a Pulitzer-winning bravura story of the world's worst job interview? Or is it a searing indictment of ethno-nationalist Zionism–and the strange act of pretense whereby American Jewish writers and thinkers in postwar America pretended that Israel and its more extreme ethno-nationalist strains didn't concern them? Cohen dramatizes the return of that repressed by imagining the family of the Benzion Netanyahu (actual medieval Spanish historian and father of Israel's past and present Prime Minister Bibi) landing itself on a would-be assimilated American Jewish family ripped straight from the pages of a Philip Roth or Bernard Malamud novel. With John and Eugene, Joshua dissects the legacy of earlier American Jewish writers like Cynthia Ozick, and offers finer details of how Ze'ev Jabotinksy‘s bellicose views would ultimately take hold in Israel, wisecracking his way to a literally jaw-dropping conclusion… Mentioned in this episode: Zionist and ethnonationalist Ze'ev Jabotinksy (1880-1940): "We must eliminate the Diaspora or the Diaspora will eliminate us." Novalis (the German Romantic writer Georg Von Hardenberg) says somewhere "Every book must contain its counter-book." Slavoj Zizek makes the case that everything is political including the choice not to have a politics. Joshua wants readers to think about why celebrated postwar American fiction by Jewish authors like Cynthia Ozick, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth (starting from his 1959 Goodbye Columbus) largely ignores both the Holocaust and Israel until the 1970s or 1980s. Joshua invokes Harold Bloom's 1973 Anxiety of Influence to explain his relationship to them. He is less interested in Hannah Arendt. "Shoah Religion" is the way in which the Holocaust came to not only function as a key element in post-war American Jewish identification but also to legitimate the state of Israel (cf Abba Eban's famous quip "There's no business like Shoah business") Yekke: a German-Jew in Israel or American characterized by an ethos of industrial self-restraint and German culture, satirized in Israeli culture as a man who wears a three piece suit in the middle of summer heat. Leon Feuchtwanger "There's hope but not for us" Joshua (subtly) quotes a line of Kafka's that Walter Benjamin (in "Franz Kafka: On the Tenth Anniversary of His Death‟ from Illuminations) apparently lifted from Max Brod ("Oh Hoffnung genug, unendlich viel Hoffnung, — nur nicht für uns.") Yitzhak La'or "you ever want a poem to become real" Netanyahu tells the story of the snowy drive to Ithaca (again) in an interview with Barry Weiss.

n this episode (originally aired by our partner Novel Dialogue) John and his Brandeis colleague Eugene Sheppard speak with Joshua Cohen about The Netanyahus. Is the 2021 novel a Pulitzer-winning bravura story of the world's worst job interview? Or is it a searing indictment of ethno-nationalist Zionism–and the strange act of pretense whereby American Jewish writers and thinkers in postwar America pretended that Israel and its more extreme ethno-nationalist strains didn't concern them? Cohen dramatizes the return of that repressed by imagining the family of the Benzion Netanyahu (actual medieval Spanish historian and father of Israel's past and present Prime Minister Bibi) landing itself on a would-be assimilated American Jewish family ripped straight from the pages of a Philip Roth or Bernard Malamud novel. With John and Eugene, Joshua dissects the legacy of earlier American Jewish writers like Cynthia Ozick, and offers finer details of how Ze'ev Jabotinksy‘s bellicose views would ultimately take hold in Israel, wisecracking his way to a literally jaw-dropping conclusion… Mentioned in this episode: Zionist and ethnonationalist Ze'ev Jabotinksy (1880-1940): "We must eliminate the Diaspora or the Diaspora will eliminate us." Novalis (the German Romantic writer Georg Von Hardenberg) says somewhere "Every book must contain its counter-book." Slavoj Zizek makes the case that everything is political including the choice not to have a politics. Joshua wants readers to think about why celebrated postwar American fiction by Jewish authors like Cynthia Ozick, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth (starting from his 1959 Goodbye Columbus) largely ignores both the Holocaust and Israel until the 1970s or 1980s. Joshua invokes Harold Bloom's 1973 Anxiety of Influence to explain his relationship to them. He is less interested in Hannah Arendt. "Shoah Religion" is the way in which the Holocaust came to not only function as a key element in post-war American Jewish identification but also to legitimate the state of Israel (cf Abba Eban's famous quip "There's no business like Shoah business") Yekke: a German-Jew in Israel or American characterized by an ethos of industrial self-restraint and German culture, satirized in Israeli culture as a man who wears a three piece suit in the middle of summer heat. Leon Feuchtwanger "There's hope but not for us" Joshua (subtly) quotes a line of Kafka's that Walter Benjamin (in "Franz Kafka: On the Tenth Anniversary of His Death‟ from Illuminations) apparently lifted from Max Brod ("Oh Hoffnung genug, unendlich viel Hoffnung, — nur nicht für uns.")

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1497 John Cabot, the Canadian Explorer, set sail from Bristol, England, on his ship, Matthew. He was looking for a route to the west, and he found it. He discovered parts of North America on behalf of Henry VII of England. And in case you're wondering why we're talking about John Cabot today, it's because of the climbing rose named in his honor. And it's also the rose that got me good. I got a thorn from a John Cabot rose in my knuckle and ended up having surgery to clean out the infection about three days later. It was quite an ordeal. I think my recovery took about eight months. So the John Cabot Rose - any rose - is not to be trifled with.   1519 Leonardo da Vinci, the mathematician, scientist, painter, and botanist, died. Leonardo once said, We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.   He also wrote, The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.   And if you're spending any time outdoors, we are learning new lessons in spring. Isn't that the truth? There's always some new development we've never encountered - and, of course, a few delights. Leonardo continued to study the flower of life, the Fibonacci sequence, which has fascinated them for centuries. You can see it in flowers. You can also see it in cell division. And if you've never seen Leonardo's drawings and sketches of flowers, you are missing a real treat, and I think they would make for an awesome wallpaper. Leonardo once wrote about how to make your own perfume. He wrote, To make a perfume, take some rose water and wash your hands in it, then take a lavender flower and rub it with your palms, and you will achieve the desired effect. That timeless rose-lavender combination is still a good one.   I think about Leonardo every spring when I turn on my sprinkler system because of consistent watering. Gives such a massive boost to the garden. All of a sudden, it just comes alive. Leonardo said, Water is the driving force in nature.   The power of water is incredible, and of course, we know that life on Earth is inextricably bound to water. Nothing grows; nothing lives without water. Leonardo was also a cat fan. He wrote, The smallest feline is a masterpiece.   In 1517 Leonardo made a mechanical lion for the King of France. This lion was designed to walk toward the king and then drop flowers at his feet. Today you can grow a rose named after Leonardo da Vinci in your garden. It's a beautiful pink rose, very lush, very pleasing, with lots of lovely big green leaves to go with those gorgeous blooms. It was Leonardo da Vinci who wrote, Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple, or more direct than does nature because in her inventions, nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.   1803 On this day, Napoleon and the United States inked a deal for the Louisiana Purchase and added 828,000 square miles of French territory to the United States for $27 million. This purchase impacted the Louis and Clark Expedition because they had to explore the area that was bought in addition to the entire Pacific Northwest. To get ready for this trip, Meriwether Lewis was sent to Philadelphia. While there, he worked with a botanist, a naturalist, and a physician named Benjamin Smith Barton. He was the expert in Philadelphia, so he tutored Meriwether Lewis to get him ready because Lewis did not know natural history or plants. So he needed to cram all this information to maximize what he saw and collected. Now, in addition to all of this homework, all of this studying about horticulture and botany and the natural world, Meriwether made one other purchase for $20. He bought himself a big, beautiful Newfoundland dog, and he named him Seaman. It's always nice to have a little dog with you while exploring.   1806 The garden writer John Abercrombie died.  The previous day, John had fallen down some steps. He had broken his hip a few weeks earlier, and so this last fall is what did him in. John was a true character. He loved to drink tea. He was a vegetarian. He was Scottish, and he was a lifelong gardener. His most significant success was his book, Every Man His Own Garden. John would go on to write other books on gardening like The Garden Mushroom, The Complete Wall and Tree Pruner (1783), and The Gardener's Daily Assistant (1786), but none of them rose to the level of popularity as Every Man His Own Garden. John and his wife had 17 children, and they all died before him - with his last child dying about ten years before he died on this day in 1806.   1867 Thomas Hanbury bought a property in the French Riviera that he called La Mortola. In 1913, The Botanical Journal shared the story of Thomas and his brother Daniel, and it also described the moment that Thomas saw his property for the first time. It had been the dream of Thomas Hanbury from his early youth to make a garden in a southern climate and to share its pleasures and botanical interests with his favorite brother. While staying on the Riviera, in the spring of 1867, after many years of strenuous work in the East, he decided to carry out his plan. He was first inclined to buy Cap Martin, near Mentone, but gave up the idea as soon as he became acquainted with the little cape of La Mortola. As he first approached it by sea, he was struck by the marvelous beauty of this spot. A house, once the mansion of a noble Genoese family, and at that time, though almost a ruin, known as the Palazzo Orego, stood on a high commanding position. Above it was the little village, and beyond all rose the mountains. To the east of the Palazzo were vineyards and olive terraces; to the west, a ravine whose declivities were here and there scantily clothed by Aleppo pines; while on the rocky point, washed by the sea waves, grew the myrtle, to which La Punta della Murtola probably owed its name.   So Thomas purchased this incredible property in May of 1867, and by July, he returned with his brother, and together the two of them started to transform both the home and the garden. The article says that Thomas's first goal was to get planting because the property had been destroyed by goats and the local villagers who had come in and taken what they wanted from the property during all the years that it was left unoccupied now Thomas and Daniel went all out when it came to selecting plants for this property, and by 1913 there were over. Five thousand different species of plants, including the opuntia or the prickly pear cactus, along with incredible succulents (so they were way ahead of their time). Thomas loved collecting rare and valuable plants and found a home for all of them on this beautiful estate. Now, for the most part, Thomas and his brother Daniel did the bulk of the installations, but a year later, they managed to find a gardener to help them. His name was Ludwig Winter, and he stayed there for about six years. Almost a year after they hired him, Thomas's brother Daniel died. This was a significant loss to Thomas, but he found solace in his family, friends, and gorgeous estate at La Mortola - where Thomas spent the last 28 years of his life. Thomas knew almost every plant in his garden, and he loved the plants that reminded him of his brother. Thomas went on to found the Botanical Institute at the University of Genoa. The herbarium there was named in his honor; it was called the Institute Hanbury and was commemorated in 1892. As Thomas grew older, the Riviera grew more popular, and soon his property was opened to the public five days a week. The garden is practically never without flowers. The end of September may be considered the dullest time. Still, as soon as the autumnal rains set in, the flowering begins and continues on an ever-increasing scale until the middle of April or the beginning of May. Then almost every plant is in flower, the most marked features being the graceful branches of the single yellow Banksian rose, Fortune's yellow rose, the sweet-scented Pittosporum, the wonderful crimson Cantua buxifolia, and the blue spikes of the Canarian Echium.   But Thomas knew that there were limitations, frustrations, and challenges even in that lovely growing zone. It was Thomas Hanberry who said, Never go against nature.    Thomas used that as his philosophy when planning gardens,  working with plants, and trying to figure out what worked and what didn't - Proving that even in the French Riviera, never go against nature.   1928 On this day, folks were lined up to see the lilacs in bloom at Hulda Klagers in Woodland, Washington. Here's an excerpt from a book by Jane Kirkpatrick called Where Lilacs Still Bloom. In it, she quotes Hulda. Beauty matters… it does. God gave us flowers for a reason. Flowers remind us to put away fear, to stop our rushing and running and worrying about this and that, and for a moment, have a piece of paradise right here on earth.   Jane wrote, The following year there were two articles: one in Better Homes and Gardens and yet another on May 2, 1928, in the Lewis River News. The latter article appeared just in time for my Lilac Days and helped promote Planter's Day, following in June. They were covering the news, and we had made it! In the afternoon, a count showed four hundred cars parked at Hulda Klager's Lilac Garden in one hour, the road being lined for a quarter of a mile. It is estimated that at least twenty-five hundred people were there for the day, coming from points all the way from Seattle. In addition, there were several hundred cars during the week to avoid the rush. Today you can go and visit the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens. It's a nonprofit garden, and of course, it specializes in lilacs. The gardens are open from 10 to 4 pm daily. There's a $4 admission fee - except during lilac season when the admission fee is $5.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation A Gardener's Guide to Botany by Scott Zona This book came out in December of 2022, and the subtitle is The Biology Behind the Plants You Love, How They Grow, and What They Need. I think it's that last part - what they need - that most gardeners are intrigued by. If you're a true botany geek, you'll love every page of Scott's book. I wanted to share a little bit from the preface of Scott's book. Scott, by the way, is truly an expert. He's a research botanist by training, and his undergraduate degree is in horticulture, so he's a lifelong gardener and a trained expert. He's a conscious-competent. He knows exactly what he is writing about, Here's what he wrote in the preface of his book. As I sit down to write, I gaze at the windowsill near my desk. On it sits a dwarf sansevieria forming little rosettes of deep green leaves above. It hangs a slab of cork on which is mounted a tiny air plant that is pushing out oversized violet flowers, one at a time. Nearby are two plants, an agave, and an aloe, that have similar forms, but one evolved from Mexico and the other in South America. Above them, a furry-leaved and a hybrid philodendron both grow contently in the diffuse light that reaches the shelf next to the window. My most curious visitors might ask a question about a plant or two, and when that happens, I can barely contain my delight. There is so much to tell. Well, this book starts out with a chapter called Being a Plant, and if you are a bit of an empath, you may feel that you understand what it's like to be a plant, but Scott is going to tell you scientifically what does it mean to be a plant.   He writes in chapter one, For most people, the plant kingdom is a foreign land. It's inscrutable. Inhabitants are all around us, but they communicate in a language that seems unintelligible and untranslatable. Their social interactions are different. Their currency doesn't fit in our wallet and their cuisine. Well, it's nothing like what we eat at home in the plant kingdom. We are tourists.   So I would say this book is for the very serious and curious gardener- and maybe you. This book was a 2023 American Horticulture Society Award winner. I love the cover. It's beautiful, and of course, I love the title, A Gardener's Guide to Botany. This is the perfect book to round out your collection. If you have the Botany in a Day book, it looks like a big botany workbook. I love that book. This book is a great companion to that. There's also a book called Botany for Gardeners, and when I think about Scott's book here, I will be putting it on the shelf beside both books. This book is 256 pages that will amp up your understanding of plants - No more mystery -and provide all of the answers you've been looking for. You can get a copy of A Gardener's Guide to Botany by Scott Zona and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $20.   Botanic Spark 1772 Georg Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg, better known by his pen name Novalis, is born. He was an 18th-century German poet and writer, mystic, and philosopher of early German romanticism. All last week I was watching videos about Novalis. He led such an exciting but short life. He had a tragic romance after falling in love with a girl who tragically died of tuberculosis, and then Novalis himself died young. He died at 28 of tuberculosis as well. But in his concise life, he accomplished so much, including the fact that during his life, he had three moments of mystical revelation, which led to a deeper understanding of the world and time, and humanity. This is partly what makes him such a fascinating person to examine. One of the things that we remember Novalis for is his fascination with blue flowers. He made the blue flower a symbol of German romanticism. To Novalis, the blue flower represented romantic yearning. It also meant a point of unification between humanity and nature. It represented life, but it also described death. And if you are a gardener who the blue flower bug has bitten (and who hasn't? I mean, who does not love a blue flower?), you know what I'm talking about. Blue blossoms are so rare. They're so captivating. Most people can relate to Novalis' love of Blue Flowers and why it became so significant in his writing. Now the book where Novalis wrote about the Blue flower is a book called Henry of Ofterdingen, and it's here where we get these marvelous quotes about the blue blossom, which some believe was a heliotrope and which others believe was a cornflower, But whatever the case, the symbolism of the blue flower became very important. Novalis wrote, It is not the treasures that have stirred in me such an unspeakable longing; I care not for wealth and riches. But that blue flower I do long to see; it haunts me, and I can think and dream of nothing else.   And that reminds me of what it was like to be a new gardener 30 years ago. A friend got me onto growing Delphinium, and I felt just like Novalis; I could not stop thinking about the Delphinium and imagining them at maturity around the 4th of July, standing about five to six feet tall, those beautiful blue spikes. And, of course, my dream of the Delphinium always surpassed what the actual Delphinium looked like, and yet, I still grew them. I loved them. And I did that for about ten years. So there you go, the call and the power of the blue flower. Novalis writes later in the book, He saw nothing but the blue flower and gazed at it for a long time with indescribable tenderness.   Those blue flowers command our attention. Well, I'll end with this last quote. It's a flower quote from Novalis, and it'll get you thinking. Novalis was a very insightful philosopher and a lover of nature, and he believed in the answers that could be found in nature. And so what he does here in this quote is he asks a series of questions, and like all good philosophers, Novalis knows that the answer is in the questions and that the questions are more powerful than the answers. Novalis writes, What if you slept?  And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed?  And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and plucked a strange and beautiful flower?  And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand?  Ah, what then?   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

For centuries, Medieval life in Europe meant a world determined and prescribed by church and royalty. The social sphere was very much a pyramid, and everybody had to answer to and fit within the schemes of those on top. And then, on wings of reason, Modern selves emerged to scrutinize these systems and at great cost swap them for others that more evenly distribute power and authority. Cosmic forces preordained one's role within a transcendental order…but then, across quick decades of upheaval, philosophy and politics started celebrating self-determination and free will. Art and science blossomed as they wove together. Nothing was ever the same.Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week we engage with returning guest, New York Times best-selling author of seven books and SFI Miller Scholar Andrea Wulf, about her latest lovingly-detailed long work, Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and The Invention of The Self. In this episode we explore the conditions for an 18th century revolution in philosophy, science, literature, and lifestyle springing from Jena, Germany. Over just a few years, an extraordinary confluence of history-making figures such as Goethe, Schelling, Schlegel, Hegel, and Novalis helped rewrite what was possible for human thought and action. Admist a landscape of political revolt, this braid of brilliant friends and enemies and lovers altered what it means to be a self and how the modern self relates to everything it isn't, inspiring later British and American Romantic movements. Arguing for art and the imagination in the work of science and infusing art with reason, Jena's rebels of the mind lived bold, iconoclastic lives that seem 200 years ahead in retrospect. We stand to learn a great deal from a careful look at Jena and the first Romantics…maybe even how to replicate their great successes and avoid their self-implosion in the face of social turbulence.If you value our research and communication efforts, Please subscribe to Complexity Podcast wherever you prefer to listen, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, and/or consider making a donation at santafe.edu/podcastgive.

This is the story that started it all—the fairy tale that baptized C.S. Lewis's imagination and inspired countless fantasy novels such as Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In this week's episode, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing sit down with Producer Aaron Hill to discuss George MacDonald's dreamlike fairy tale for adults, Phantastes. Join us as explore the symbols, dream sequences, the meaning of the Marble Lady, the journey of Anodos, and the interrelated themes of disenchantment, death, sehnsucht, self, pride, and longing.

“For most of my adult life, I have been trying to understand why we are who we are,” Andrea Wulf writes at the start of “Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self.” “This is the reason why I write history books. In my previous books, I have looked at the relationship between humankind and nature in order to understand why we've destroyed so much of our magnificent blue planet. But I also realize that it is not enough to look at the connections between us and nature. The first step is to look at us as individuals—when did we begin to be as selfish as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did this—us, you, me, or our collective behavior—all come from? When did we first ask the question, how can I be free?” This week on the podcast, Lewis H. Lapham speaks with Andrea Wulf, author of “Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self,” and takes us to Jena to begin answering these questions by introducing us to a few German Romantics, including Caroline Böhmer-Schlegel-Schelling, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Novalis, and Friedrich Schiller.
