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.

THE ROOTS OF ART

This book is a philosophy of art. I would like to tell the advised reader especially if he is an artist, that unlike some philosophies which have become an example to follow in this genre, I am not trying to through this philosophy of art to subject art to a “scientific vision,” neither am I trying to lay down the norms that art should follow in the name of a presumed higher science. Nothing of the sort.

The Indic civilization, basically, is the result of the succession and interaction of two traditions: Buddhist and Hindu; this is one of the traditions I will deal with in this treatise. The other civilization I will deal with is the Hellenic. I think the parallel between them sums up the essence of the Indo-European spirit. And I am convinced that in that spirit, which is expressed in Eastern and Western idealism, which I try to make converge in my philosophy, the most decisive answers can be found for the universal culture that begin with the new millennium.
