Qu'est-ce que Yin Yang, l'emblème de la pensée chinoise ? Le sinologue, écrivain et conférencier Cyrille J.-D. Javary nous propose, à travers un récit imagé, de revenir sur cette notion longtemps incomprise de la pensée occidentale. Réponse philosophique et pratique formulée par le peuple chinois face à l'alternance des saisons, Yin Yang pose pour principe que tout change perpétuellement et nous épargne ainsi la gageure aristotélicienne de devoir penser le monde de façon unitaire.

But very soon they begin to wonder about the meaning behind the traditions, gear, and relationships in the dojo.

Neither the date nor the authorship of the Dhammapada is known, but there is conclusive evidence that this monument of the Buddhist canon existed well before the Christian era. Many scholars agree in ascribing its utterances to Buddha himself, while others are of the opinion that it is a compilation made by Buddhist monks from various sources. This classic religious text focuses on practical morality, which, if practiced earnestly and diligently, will lead the practitioner to Nirvana, the state of unconditioned eternal bliss.

Confucius knew all about life and told us how to behave, but we can't find out precisely what he was up to. His well-meaning platitudes, quaint maxims, and quasi-enigmatic anecdotes combined to produce an ideal philosophy for civil servants. It would appear that his aim was to turn his pupils into good government officials, but his teachings succeeded beyond his wildest expectations, providing rules of conduct and spiritual fodder for more than two thousand years.

The first World War was one of the most devastating conflicts in our history. The tumult and chaos that remained in the wake of the first World War had far-reaching and devastating consequences, not just for Europe and the survivors of the war, but for the entire world. The ruins of Europe provided a fertile breeding ground for fierce nationalism, which led to the rise of the Third Reich and allowed the evil of Adolf Hitler to go unchecked for far too long.
