Chapter 10: The Now of Pooh
Chapter 10: The Now of Pooh, Hoff reflects on why people, particularly the young, follow Pooh, a bear often described as having “a Little Brain,” on his adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. He questions whether following one’s brain is truly the right approach, or whether it’s better to listen to "the voice within." Hoff argues that the brain, though valuable for many tasks, fails to grasp the most important aspects of life. Intelligence and cleverness can often distance people from the world…-

LETTER–To Q. Horatius Flaccus
Letter to Q. Horatius Flaccus begins with a quiet, searching tone, reflecting on whether the poet, in whatever place death may have led him, still enjoys the charm of country walks and city wit. The question is gentle, almost rhetorical, asking not for doctrine but for imagination. What becomes of the mind so deeply tuned to beauty, friendship, and moderation? The letter doesn’t aim to solve the mystery of the afterlife—it accepts the uncertainty. Unlike Virgil’s bold journeys into shadowy realms,…-

Chapter 18 — What is “Art”?
Chapter 18 - What is "Art"? opens with the recollection of a young artist's uncertainty in the shadowy world of foreign studios, where the phrase "it's not Art" was often wielded as a conclusive critique. These dismissals, vague yet powerful, cast doubt not only on the work produced but on the very identity of the creator. Among students and teachers alike, confusion reigned, as standards seemed subjective and ever-changing. There was no rulebook, only a chorus of opinions, many of which contradicted each…-

Chapter 6: The Pooh Way
Chapter 6: The Pooh Way, In Taoist philosophy, Wu Wei is often described through the metaphor of a stream that, as it grows and transforms into a river, learns to flow more smoothly and without effort. This principle mirrors what Hoff calls “the Pooh Way,” where things are done effortlessly, without force or struggle. Wu Wei emphasizes acting in a natural, calm manner, avoiding egotistical or combative effort. For example, water naturally flows around obstacles without trying to force its way through,…-

Chapter VII begins with a bold challenge to one of modern philosophy’s most influential traditions. Henri Bergson, in his evolving vision of thought and life, steps away from the rigid contours drawn by thinkers like Kant. Where Kant enclosed reason within the bounds of structure and critique, Bergson sees such confinement as inadequate for understanding the living, breathing nature of thought. Rather than treating knowledge as a construct examined through static methods, he asks us to view it as part of…-

The Vessel and the Filter
"The Vessel and the Filter" presents a compelling metaphor for understanding how individuals process, interpret, and transform the vast amount of information they encounter daily. The mind is described as a vessel that continuously collects thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences from the external world. However, this vessel does not absorb everything indiscriminately; rather, it utilizes an internal filter—a cognitive mechanism that determines what is retained, what is altered, and what is…-
