- Title
Pensativos. Los placeres ocultos de la vida intelectual.
- Authors
García Cuadrado, José Ángel
- Abstract
The book "Thoughtful. The Hidden Pleasures of Intellectual Life" is of interest to a wide audience, both academic and casual, interested in expanding their knowledge and in philosophy, phenomenology, and the study of emotions. The book presents simple and clear writing, with quotes, explanations, and a solid bibliography, which shows remarkable research, organization, and synthesis work. The author, Zena Hitz, recounts her intellectual biography and her path towards religious conversion, highlighting the importance of empathy as a philosophical problem to understand the essence of human beings. The book offers a reflection on the love for learning, hidden work understood as service, and a model of intellectual work far from the current university.
