“Origin & destiny of man” by the author Julio Ozán Lavoisier – Book Discussion at Instituto Cervantes, 48, Hanuman Road, Connaught Place (CP) > 6:30pm onwards on 12th November 2015
Event Description: “Origin & destiny of man” by the author Julio Ozán Lavoisier – Book Discussion.
Synopsis: Rather than the biological development of man, the author is interested in investigating the origin of the faculties that define him as such, especially the Unitive faculties. This leads to tracing the appearance of religion, moral and arts in the mind. Thus, a deep X-ray of the origin of our conscience exposed to its inner and outer circumstances, that is to say the Universus around us, is carried out. The philosopher presents his cosmopolitan vision and exposes the concept of Universal Conscience, paramount idea of his system, as according to what he asserts on these pages, “it is within this universal framework that the drama of man in search for his Destiny unfolds”. The obstacles of the ego, the boundaries of reason and the kind of knowledge called “unitive” are dealt with in the light of the menaces that haunt man, such as desertification, overpopulation, global warming and the spiritual, moral and esthetic sclerotization experienced in our times. “The eagerness for happiness and freedom, unquestionable in our species, is shared by the most highly developed species. Since for those who have attained it, this experience represents the highest achievement and enjoyment during their existence, we can conclude that such common project is necessary for all living beings in order to accomplish their destiny “.
About the writer: Julio Ozán Lavoisier studied philosophy at Universidad Nacional de Cuyo and then at Aix-en Provence (France). Giving priority to the practice of his own philosophy as the consummation of theoretical learning, he navigated the world on board an old wooden sailing boat for 12 years. This let him develop his passion: getting to know diverse remote cultures. These physical and spiritual deeds represent the balance of a full thinker. He was part of a countercultural movement in San Francisco (USA) in the 1960s. He then moved to Sierra Nevada, to Ken Country Estate (Quietness), “the highest in
Spain”, where he lived for 15 years he devoted to reflection, contemplation and study. He has resided at RanchoKuan, “The Contemplation”, for over a decade, in a house made of wood and stone, covered with flowers and hidden in a small wood he himself has planted at the foot of the Andes, in Mendoza, Argentina. This secluded life has been completed with long stays in India, which has enabled him to learn the varied expressions of this civilization, as noticed in his work.
