The wise live a life that integrates past and present productively as they move into the future.

Plutarch, On Tranquility - Focusing On Past, Present, and Future - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Tranquility

This episode focuses specifically on his discussion of one mistake that many people make that gets in the way of their enjoying their lives, namely desiring or attempting to do every kind of activity they consider important or valuable in their one life. Many activities are incompatible with each other, so selecting one means selecting against the others that incompatible. Plutarch advises us to follow the Delphic maxim "know yourself".

Les derniers chiffres du CNL concernant les habitudes de lecture des français mettent en avant un décrochage global de l’ensemble de la population. Cette baisse du temps de lecture touche toutes les catégories d’âges, à part les plus 65 ans. Si les jeunes n’ont en apparence pas les résultats les plus alarmants, ils sont ceux qui concentrent le plus d’inquiétude. Alors, fausse peur ou vrai danger ? Pour nous en faire une idée plus fidèle, nous sommes allés parler aux principaux intéressés. C’était à Asnières-sur-Seine, à l’occasion du Livrodrome, le parc d’attraction littéraire du CNL.


Au Livrodrome, les jeunes nous parlent sans filtre de lecture
