Taylor Swift and Philosophy
Is Taylor Swift a philosopher? What can her songs tell us about ethics and society? What is the nature of friendship? Should you forgive someone for breaking your heart? Taylor Swift is a “Mastermind” when it comes to relationships, songwriting, and performing sold-out stadium tours. But did you know that Taylor is also a philosophical mastermind?

O ar necessário
O ar necessário é o quinto livro de poesia do mineiro André di Bernardi. Assim como nos anteriores, André perscruta, pelas palavras, o indizível, o eterno, a partícula divina que se encontra em cada átomo do mundo: árvores, flores, bichos, gente. Em seus versos nobres, encontramos a beleza da simplicidade, a profunda intimidade com a terra e com o céu: os dois lados em que o impossível se manifesta.
Florence and its University during the Early Renaissance
This book makes a substantial contribution to the study of Florentine history. It answers an important but hitherto unresolved question: why did the Florentine Republic keep a university in its capital city between 1385 and 1473 rather than follow the example of other Italian states in maintaining a university in a subject town? Based on a wide range of newly-found sources, it discloses that the University owed its survival to the support of the Florentine elite, especially the Medici family and its followers. It reveals systematically the close ties between the University and major developments in the social, economic, political, ecclesiastical, and cultural life of Florence and Florentine Tuscany. The appendices fill some of the greatest gaps in our knowledge of the University, identifying administrators, students, examiners, and teachers.
