by Stefano Bolognini

|
An Italian psychoanalyst and raconteur reflects insightfully on life and the common experiences that make us human. “The brief pieces collected in this volume are as much short stories as they are essays as they are psychoanalytic studies.

Mr. Jefferson's University [Secure]
by Garry Wills
|
|
In Charlottesville, Virginia, at the University of Virginia, there is today--beneath the irregular rhythms of modern student comings and goings--a severely rhythmic expression of the Enlightenment, a philosophy concretized in brick and timber. The play of one architectural element into another is meant to express the interconnectedness of all knowledge. It is Jefferson's last but not his least achievement, and one of the three things that he put on his own tombstone to be remembered by. In impor... more info>>

This unfortunate state of affairs is ironic, considering that psychoanalysis became popular on the basis of its therapeut... more info>>
