Vivir con nuestro pasado : Una filosofía para seguir avanzando

Everything we are stems from our past, which is always present. Thus, it is up to us to establish a peaceful and fruitful relationship with our memory, which is not, as is often believed, a database: neuroscience teaches us that it is dynamic and ever-changing. Our memories are not static; they are like a musical score whose music we must interpret in our daily lives. Based on these notions, the French philosopher Charles Pépin reflects on the importance of rethinking our relationship with the past and proposes a free and creative relationship with our experiences. To this end, he draws on references from cognitive science, innovative therapies, ancestral wisdom, and the classics of philosophy, literature, and film. Our happiness depends on our ability to live with our past, and this insightful essay offers us the keys to achieving it.
