★ The true pedagogical revolution is looking at things differently.
★ One thing leads to another and how many things are there in things! Things happen and that’s how things are.

There are few spaces for speculation, for free, attentive and honest reflection about things that catch our attention and about things that might be uncertain. Reflection then leads to the pleasure of thinking for the sake of thinking or, better still, of exchanging opinions in a relaxed conversation.

The starting point of these lessons is tearing off the daily veil that makes things anodyne and to makes us aware of the wonder in them. A book to play with and surely the most appropriate one to take with you to a desert island.
