Details
Una novela gráfica que nos descubre a la brillante Hiparquía, figura imprescindible de la Antigüedad clásica. Una celebración del poder y la vigencia de la filosofía.
La reconocida dibujante Barbara Stok retrata en esta obra la vida de Hiparquía, una filósofa prácticamente desconocida que vivió en la Grecia del siglo IV a. C. y que revolucionó el mundo del pensamiento clásico gracias al importante rol que desempeñó en la corriente cínica. Con su eterno entusiasmo, un potentísimo trasfondo filosófico y su estilo característicamente cercano, Stok construye un puente con el presente al colocar un espejo frente al lector.
Esta novela gráfica logra devolver el lugar destacado de la Historia que le corresponde a la figura de Hiparquía, una mujer brillante que tuvo el coraje de vivir según sus propios ideales, a pesar de las creencias predominantes de su época.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The life and times of Hipparchia, one of the first female philosophers
It is the 4th century B.C.E in Greece. Hipparchia is about to marry the rich son of a family friend when she meets Crates. As the wedding day approaches, Hipparchia becomes increasingly captivated by the views and way of life of the strange philosopher, who lives on the streets.
Gradually, she starts to realize that the safe, comfortable, and cushioned life of luxury that has been mapped out for her is actually one of emptiness and spiritual imprisonment.
Crates and Hipparchia came to develop a central strand of the so-called “Cynical” movement in Athenian philosophy – named after their dog-like tenacity or canine fury to reject all conventional values. One of their fundamental principles was we can only attain true happiness if we are independent of material possessions and social position.
Hipparchia was a strong woman; and she possessed the courage to live by her own ideals, despite the prevailing prejudices of her time. Her story continues to speak to ours.
