In a society that glorifies productivity, speed and constant availability, do we still know how to stop?
In this episode of NOVA Talks, we reflect on the meaning of rest, leisure and the art of living with António de Castro Caeiro, Professor of Philosophy at NOVA FCSH, specialist in Ancient Philosophy, essayist and author of On Feelings.
Drawing on a unique journey that brings together philosophy, punk culture and martial arts, our guest challenges us to think about how we spend our time, deal with boredom, understand our feelings and seek meaning in everyday life.
In a conversation that revisits the relevance of the classics to shed light on contemporary dilemmas, we explore essential questions about leisure and the need to pause. It is a reflection on attention, freedom, feelings and the possibility of living more consciously in a time marked by acceleration and exhaustion.
