The Games of Maya (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788196472931)

Maya is a Hindu goddess, as well as a concept often described as 'the illusory nature of reality or the illusion of creation'. But as the author shows in this profound and poetic work, this does not necessarily have a negative connotation. If we understand that illusion is part of the great law of life, we can learn to play the 'games of Maya' by her rules. We can make friends with Maya, admire her ingenuity and see the beauty of her creations, which have the purpose of ensuring that life continues. Delia Steinberg Guzmán helps us learn to see life through the eyes of a playful yet deep philosopher. She gives us keys to understand the game of life in its many different aspects, using the 'Ariadne's thread' of philosophy. In this way, she leads us towards the ideal that she sets out in the penultimate chapter of this magical book: "To play does not force us to be unconscious of what we are doing: rather, it demands that we know why we are doing it." Education, science, religion, art and politics; love, destiny, beauty, justice, good and evil: these are just some of the topics touched upon in this wide-ranging work. A treasure trove of wisdom for living life as an active philosopher in the 21st century.
