Author: Julio Ozán Lavoisier

Julio Ozan Lavoisier studied philosophy at the National University of Cuyo (Argentina) and then in Aix-en-Provence (France). He sailed for 12 years aboard an old wooden sailboat; this allowed him to meet diverse and remote cultures, which has always been his passion. In San Francisco (USA), was part of the countercultural movement of the 60s. Then he moved to Sierra Nevada (Spain), to the ranch Ken (La quietud), "the highest in Spain", where he lived for 15 years dedicated to reflection, contemplation and study. The last twenty years he has resided in Rancho Kuan, "La contemplación", in a house of stone and wood that he build, already covered with flowers hidden in a grove that he has planted, at the foot of the mountain range Los Andes, in Mendoza, Argentina. This retired life has been complemented by prolonged stays in India, which has allowed him to know the varied expressions of that civilization, as is evident in his work.

On Consciousness, regarding the Congress in Bangalore, India

Julio was invited to speak at the Congress titled ‘Exploring Consciousness: Non-Duality to Non-Locality – The Man Machine Debate’ in Bangalore, India, held from September 22 to 24, 2023. His work, ‘The Search for Universal Consciousness,’ served as a foundation for the debate. As Julio was unable to attend, a text written by him was read.

“At present, India lies between two currents that have sometimes generated some turbulence: one aims at preserving its past, impregnated with spirituality; the other tends to forget or minimize the past and is concerned about economic progress using the western model, like Japan or China.”

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.

“A Psychosophy of History would attentively follow the history of thought, but in the knowledge that ideas are products, it would not be content with this.”

THE ROOTS OF MORALITY

Coming soon on Amazon

I have come to the conviction that nothing is more necessary than morality in these times, since it is what structures both individual and collective personality. Even if it is true that the Ethics I present here forms part of a philosophical system, it is not one of its branches but the very sap that goes from the root to the fruit, therefore it can be experienced, applied and lived; and this is what I understand by a vital philosophy.
