While the Spanish conquistadors have been stereotyped as rapacious treasure seekers, many firstcomers to the New World realized that its greatest wealth lay in the native populations whose labor could be harnessed to build a new Spain. Hence, the early arrivals in Mexico sought encomiendas—"a grant of the Indians of a prescribed indigenous polity, who were to provide the grantee (the encomendero) tribute in the form of commoditiesand service in return for protection and religious instruction." This study profiles the 506 known encomenderos in New Spain (present-day Mexico) during the years 1521-1555, using their life histories to chart the rise, florescence, and decline of the encomienda system.

Early chapters cover the origins of Korea’s democratic re...

《뉴필로소퍼》 13호는 “부조리한 삶 속에서 목표를 갖는다는 것”을 주제로 인간사와 얽힌 다양한 ‘목적’에 대해 고찰한다. 일찍이 사르트르는 ‘인생의 의미’를 찾는 것보다 스스로 선택한 의미로 인생을 채워야 한다고 말한 바 있다. 사르트르의 말을 믿는다면, 어떤 의미 혹은 목적을 추구하는 것은 헛된 몸부림일 수도 있다. 카뮈도 마찬가지여서 삶은 부조리하지만, 바로 거기서 의미를 찾아야 한다고 여러 작품을 통해 말한 바 있다. 작가이자 편집자인 마리나 벤저민은 <목표가 있으면 인생이 행복할까?>에서 코로나 1...
