Fernand Schwarz, in his latest book - Egypt, Mirror of Heaven, opens our eyes to the immense wealth of timeless teachings to be found in ancient Egypt, both for our individual development and the potential renewal of our societies.

His knowledge of recent discoveries in both the natural and human sciences, and his philosophical concern for the state of the world today, enable him to show that Egypt was in tune with many of the new discoveries in the fields of biology and physics, and that it can also offer us viable solutions to the world’s social problems which have so far eluded most of our modern political thinkers.

Long before it became cinema, The Odyssey was read as something much deeper than the adventures of a Greek hero. In many philosophical traditions, it is seen as the story of every human being - a map of the inner journey we all undertake.

Over the next few posts, we'll be exploring some of the timeless philosophical ideas hidden within this extraordinary myth. Not as literary analysis or film commentary, but as reflections on ourselves and the challenges of living.

This carousel is inspired by a conversation with Yaron Barzilay, where we explored why The Odyssey continues to remain relevant thousands of years later.
