R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is a science-fiction drama that was first presented in Czech in 1921. It introduced the term "robot", which is derived from a Czech word meaning "worker," to international vocabulary. The action opens in a factory that has successfully produced thousands of robots, who are essentially mindless drones. An idealistic humanitarian activist launches a plan to imbue some of the robots with human traits. The robots which have been humanized then assume leadership over the other robots and seek to organize them in a revolution to take over the world.

Una lezione di vita e un punto di svolta epocale. Ecco l'esperienza offerta da questi discorsi, caratterizzati da un unico filo conduttore: offrire dei semi per un nuovo inizio, partendo da tutto ciò che per noi significa essere al mondo. Le consuete domande sull’avidità, sul bisogno di possedere e di essere posseduti; sulla voglia di dare e donarsi e sull'istinto di avere e aggrapparsi; l'interrogarsi sull'intera commedia umana nel suo perenne oscillare tra dramma, farsa e tragedia.

Yogasûtra (o Los aforismos del yoga) de Patañjali es el texto fundacional de una de las seis escuelas canónicas de la filosofía india y, por tanto, la obra fundamental para entender esta antigua forma de pensamiento que hoy ha derivado en una disciplina físico-espiritual practicada en todo el mundo. Se trata, pues, de un texto universal que va más allá de los presupuestos culturales y religiosos de la India y que ofrece un análisis exhaustivo de la mente y de su relación con el cuerpo.

This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.
