Questions
A short but engaging look at how questions shape our thinking. Why do we ask questions? In Questions, Pia Lauritzen explores the philosophy behind questions and probes how they function as both a development tool and a bridge to understanding. She speculates that the question is the essential characteristic that distinguishes human beings from animals and that it is the key to understanding why we think and act as we do. Basic human phenomena like surprise and doubt, ignorance and curiosity–which all articulate a questioning mode of dealing with the world–may well be the reason why human beings developed language. Yet the diverse ways that different languages and cultures treat questions reflects and reinforces crucial cultural differences. Ultimately, Lauritzen argues, the question is the key to understanding the inner logic that links all major themes in the history of Western philosophy. In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver
En kvinnas röst : Emilie Flygare-Carléns liv och dikt
Emilie Flygare-Carlén föddes den 8 augusti 1807 som det fjortonde och sista barnet i en köpmansfamilj i Strömstad. När hon avled i Stockholm åttiofem år senare hyllades hon som 'Sveriges största, mest produktiva och mest lästa författarinna'. Hur lyckades hon med det? Och vad är det som har lockat generationer läsare i många länder till romaner som Rosen på Tistelön och Ett köpmanshus i skärgården? Efter ett kort och sorgtyngt äktenskap och en uppslitande kärlekshistoria debuterade hon med romanen Waldemar Klein. Snart lockades hon av sin förläggare till Stockholm. Där blev hon medelpunkten i en debattglad krets av manliga 'litteratörer'. På en dynamisk bokmarknad, där män hade makten över det offentliga ordet, måste hon balansera sina roller som kvinna och författare. I en tid av brinnande kvinno- och äktenskapsdebatt utlöst av Almqvists Det går an och Fredrika Bremers Hertha utforskade hon sin egen inställning och testade gränserna för sin konstnärliga frihet. Med sin blick för
