«Diez (posibles) razones para la tristeza del pensamiento» is George Steiner's essay, published by Siruela in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
George Steiner starts from an observation by Schelling on sadness as the backdrop of nature and of the human being to set out ten theses —more questions than answers— on the melancholy of thought. With a neurophysiological and quantum-physics perspective, he addresses the limits of thinking, its relation to language and the self, and the question of God.
Volume 38 of the Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie menor collection, with translation by María Condor and original text in English.
For essay and philosophy readers interested in consciousness, language, and the big questions about thought.
