Apprendre à flâner- ce livre explore les modes de connaissance qui nécessitent plus de temps, les modes que nous avons désappris ou ignorés, mais qui sont essentiels à notre développement mental complet. Le cerveau humain fera un certain nombre de choses inhabituelles, intéressantes et importantes si on lui en donne le temps. Il apprendra des schémas d’un degré de subtilité que la conscience normale, déterminée et occupée ne peut même pas voir, et encore moins maîtriser. Il donnera un sens à des situations floues et mal définies qui laissent la rationalité quotidienne perplexe. Il ira au fond des problèmes personnels et émotionnels avec beaucoup plus de succès que l’intellect en quête. Il détectera et répondra au sens, dans la poésie par exemple, qui ne peut être articulé. Il trouvera parfois des solutions à des situations complexes qui sont sages plutôt que simplement intelligentes. Il existe de bonnes preuves tangibles, issues des sciences cognitives et d’autres sources, de toutes ces capacités. Claxton explore les modes de connaissance plus lents et explique comment nous pourrions-devrions les utiliser plus souvent et plus efficacement.

Guy Claxton is a psychologist and senior lecturer at King’s College, London. He is currently teaching at Schumacher College.
Ours is an accelerated age, and thought – we presume – must keep up with the rush. Clear, crisp, businesslike, our customary ways of thinking may serve us well – when we're confronting the expected questions. But increasingly we aren't. New technology and systems of communication no longer assure the certainties that we have become accustomed to. When confronted by these new demands, we become impatient with ambiguity and uncomfortable with metaphor; our hare brains are utterly unprepared for an age where certainty is deceptive, intuition all.
Traditional systems of thought have left us with little appreciation for ambiguity, paradox and the tinkering towards the truth that characterises the child's mind. The hare brain is always expected to win against the intuition of the tortoise mind. However, new research in cognitive science is forcing on us a new vision of the mind – one in which patience and confusion, rather than rigour and certainty, are seen to be vital precursors to wisdom, and in which acquired patterns of thinking get in the way. Guy Claxton, in this remarkable and radical book, argues that we must learn the patience not to force the issues; the readiness to mull things over and meditate; the humility to leave go of the controls and let our unconscious mind do the thinking for us. The tortoise cannot fail to win when it has intuition and inspiration at its command.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Learning to loaf this books explores the ways of knowing that require more time, the ways we have unlearned or ignore, but that are crucial to our complete mental development. The human brain-mind will do a number of unusual, interesting and important things if given time. It will learn patterns of a degree of subtlety which normal, purposeful, busy consciousness cannot even see, let alone master. It will make sense out of hazy, ill-defined situations which leave everyday rationality flummoxed. It will get to the bottom of personal, emotional issues much more successfully than the questing intellect. It will detect and respond to meaning, in poetry for example, that cannot be articulated. It will sometimes come up with solutions to complicated predicaments that are wise rather than merely clever. There is good, hard evidence, from cognitive science and elsewhere, for all these capacities. Claxton explores the slower ways of knowing and explains how we could/should use them more often and more effectively. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001296623
