Description
Traditional cultures know exercises that instil discipline, while modern thinkers such as Hegel, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard also devoted special attention to the pursuit of spirituality beyond religious frameworks. Yet genuine growth may require us to loosen our relationship with ourselves. This is where the concept of resignation enters the discussion. A resigned will is not weak: it can resist itself and, consequently, others. Such resignation protects us from becoming merely one link in a chain of events or processes. Art, philosophy and, above all, freedom depend on the ability to create distance. In her latest book, Tereza Matějčková offers more than a history of the concept or a thematic reading of the legacy of famous thinkers. She presents a fresh perspective on a newly formulated question of self-acceptance and personal growth. The contents are in Czech.
