Die Gelegenheit beim Schopfe packen! Ein philosophisches Plädoyer für das Leben im Augenblick

 

Wir haben chronisch zu wenig Zeit – Chronos, der alte Mann mit Sanduhr in der Hand versinnbildlicht das ewige Voranschreiten der Zeit, der wir so oft hinterherhetzen.

Dabei hält die griechische Mythologie einen Kontrahenten parat, den es wiederzuentdecken gilt: Begrüßen wir Kairos, mit punkigem Haarschopf gekrönt, jüngster Sohn des Zeus und Gott der günstigen Gelegenheit. Kairos verkörpert das Leben im Augenblick. Doch passen wir nicht auf, entwischt er uns. Um Kairos zu halten, muss man ihn beim Schopfe packen.

Bis zum Ende der Renaissance erfreute sich die Figur des Kairos in der Kunst- und Gelehrtenwelt großer Beliebtheit. Wie wurde Kairos rezipiert, welchen Einfluss hatte das kairotische Zeitkonzept, und wie konnte es in Vergessenheit geraten?

Joke J. Hermsen nimmt uns mit auf eine rasante Reise durch die Philosophiegeschichte der Zeit und zeichnet dabei ein beeindruckendes Plädoyer für mehr kairotische Momente in unserem durchgetakteten Leben.

 

»Kairos war die Zeit, auf die es ankam, die Zeit, die Chancen bot oder für einen Durchbruch zu sorgen wusste. Er stand sinnbildlich für all die inspirierenden Momente der Schönheit, der Einsicht und der Entschlossenheit, die das Leben so besonders machen.«

Joke J. Hermens, Kairos

So good
Format: Kindle
Read this for the Trans Rights Readathon, and it's so good. While it's not an explicitly "trans" narrative, it is clearly about the often restrictive and even harmful nature of enforcing gender roles. Kids know what they like, be it sports or art or magic or all of it; it's adults, like Aster's entire family and culture, who have created and clung to dividing kids between boy things and girl things. The art is perfect for this story, and very dynamic. Every character is different and recognizable, even in different forms. One of my favorites.

relatable
Format: Paperback
The first part of Witch Boy is defintely our favorite!!! My daughter loved the story of bullying inside a family and how the character found support outside. She quotes the book whenever we encounter a person who feels "different" or not as they’re supposed to be, or not following societal expectations.

Great for all ages
Format: Hardcover
The first time I read this book was when I was student teaching. I was going through a time of change in my life and this book really hit me in my feelings. I started to tear up! I love this book so much that I bought my own personal copy of this book in 2016 and read it to my students every year. It is by far my favorite children's book.

Terrific seasonal book that can be read year-round
Format: Hardcover
I always love a seasonal book that can be read year-round, and much like Sweep, Little Tree is a wonderful fall book that isn’t so fall-themed it can only be read in September and October. A story of change, growing up, and letting go, a story of encouraging friends through words, presence, and patience, Little Tree will please children and adults alike! Ages 5-8.
