Pensativos. Los placeres ocultos de la vida intelectual.
- Authors
SÁNCHEZ LEÓN, Alberto
- Abstract
The book "Thoughtful. The Hidden Pleasures of Intellectual Life" by Zena Hitz, writer and tutor at St. John's College, addresses the intellectual and existential crisis she experienced after the World Trade Center attack in 2001. After converting to Catholicism, Hitz realized the superficiality of the academic world and decided to join a religious community. However, she later decided to leave the community and dedicate herself to teaching liberal arts at the university. The book seeks to rescue humanity through contemplation, intellectual life, and learning.
