Fourteen Days
Antonio Machado Carrillo is a Canary Island biologist that one day left for Laos, where he set out to write for "fourteen days". The outcome of that interview with himself is a mixture of travel book, philosophical essay, popular science and intellectual legacy. Readers will not remain indifferent to this difficult-to-label book, where the meaning of life (living matter) and mind (thinking matter) are explained as cosmic phenomena. It deals with the importance of information in both the evolution of the universe and of living beings; it tackles the instincts and cultural achievements of our species, viewed as a psycho-biological amalgam. The future of nature in a psychosphere, humanine, the risks of ecofascism, the evils of plenty, infoxication, beliefs, people's reason for living or ikigai, and other things ─as the title says─ are also discussed. It is a generous book in which to learn, an invitation to reflect, or an imposition, perhaps...?
Rationality in an Uncertain World
Die Beiträge dieses Bandes, der aus dem ersten Symposium des ”Forum on Sustainable Technological Development in a Globalising World“ in Budapest hervorgegangen ist, widmen sich zwei Problemstellungen: Erstens der Möglichkeit rationaler Entscheidungen im Bereich technischer Entwicklung unter den Bedingungen von Ungewißheit (”uncertainty“), d.h. dem Verständnis von, dem Leben in und dem Umgang mit einer ”ungewissen“ Welt.

The Poetry of Antonio Machado
This book offers a much needed reappraisal of a major twentieth-century Spanish poet, Antonio Machado (1875-1939), offering compelling arguments why his poetry should have a more vital profile not only within the precincts of Hispanism but also alongside the most significant twentieth-century poets of Europe and America, seeking to open up new perspectives for the interpretation of his poetry. The unifying concepts, as the title suggests, are landscape and transformation. Landscape, a topic barely broached in Spanish poetry before Machado, is a central thematic concern in his poetry.

The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado's 'proverbios Y Cantares'
Antonio Machado (1875-1939) is one of Spain’s most original and renowned twentieth-century poets and thinkers. From his early poems in Soledades. Galerías. Otros poemas of 1907, to the writings of his alter-ego Juan de Mairena of the 1930s, Machado endeavoured to explain how the Other became a concern for the self. In The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” Nicolás Fernández-Medina examines how Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” a collection of short, proverbial poems spanning from 1909 to 1937, reveal some of the poet’s deepest concerns regarding the self-Other relationship. To appreciate Machado’s organizing concept of otherness in the ...
