Evens has long been considered one of the country’s leading contemporary architects who aspires to create the complete living environment, in the same vein as Gil Schafer, Bobby McAlpine, Ray Booth, and Stanley Dixon. His inspiration is drawn from classical traditions and informed by contemporary indoor-outdoor life—in this case the indoor-outdoor life of California.
As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection.
En el año 1600, Jacob Böhme tuvo su más famosa iluminación al ver en un instante, según refiere, todos los secretos del universo reflejados en la concavidad iluminada por un rayo de sol de una vasija de estaño que tenía colgada en la pared, tras lo cual estuvo «rodeado de luz divina» durante siete días. Para Böhme, Dios es el todo, «el gran abismo sin fondo que hay en todas partes», la nada que anhela llegar a ser engendrándose y engulléndose eternamente. Su obra es un continuo intento de descifrar el sentido de sus experiencias místicas, que no cesaron de crecer en interés y fama, porque nunca la mística y la magia se han tratado de una manera tan lógica.
Para Friedrich Schelling, Böhme es una aparición milagrosa en la historia del espíritu humano, y en particular del alemán, por su notable influencia en Tieck, Novalis, Goethe y otros románticos. Schopenhauer toma de él su noción de voluntad, y para Heidegger es, junto a Meister Eckhart, el primer autor metafísico de la filosofía alemana. Newton, Unamuno y otros muchos lo leyeron asimismo con atención.
