Winter
1,650 LA once-in-a-generation series, Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet is a tour-de-force about love, time, art, politics, and how we live now. Winter? Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. The shortest days, the longest nights. The trees are bare and shivering. The summer’s leaves? Dead litter. The world shrinks; the sap sinks. But winter makes things visible. And if there’s ice, there’ll be fire.

Key Philosophical Writings (Classics of World Literature)
850 LRene Descartes (1569-1650), the ‘father’ of modern philosophy, is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in history: his genius lies at the core of our contemporary intellectual identity. Breaking with the conventions of his own time and suffering persecution by the church as a consequence, Descartes in his writings – most of which are philosophical classics – attempted to answer the central questions surrounding the self, God, free-will and knowledge, using the science of thought as oppsed to received wisdom based on the tenets of faith.
