[...] Apesar de boa parte da tradição intelectual brasileira já ter enfrentado e resolvido indagações razoavelmente semelhantes a essas — pois incansavelmente debatera sobre a nossa psique —, convém salientar que em fins dos anos cinqüenta as bases teóricas que poderiam legitimar o nacionalismo e a consciência nacional permaneciam sob suspeição. Considerando-se o movimento editorial da época, percebe-se uma nítida inclinação para publicação de estudos filosóficos, sociológicos ou ensaios históricos acerca do processo de formação do pensamento ou da ideologia nacionalista no Brasil. No entanto, tais estudos não chegaram a contribuir positivamente para a querela da anima brasilis. E, uma vez que examinavam a trajetória de maturação intelectual do nacionalismo brasileiro, ao invés de simplesmente sancionarem o tema do caráter nacional, assumiram uma reflexão indireta e de segunda ordem cujo objetivo crítico resultou justamente na instalação de um topos cognoscente capaz de repensar a brasilidade sob novas bases intelectuais.

The Perennial Philosophy centres around what is said to be a recurring mystical insight: that our inherent nature is actually pure, unconditioned consciousness, identical to the ground of all being. Perennial Idealism, the name I give to a metaphysical system I have been building, extrapolates from the Perennial Philosophy to explain how the world could be configured if it were in fact true. Among the most serious challenges faced is that of articulating and defending the very notion that our world is grounded in universal consciousness. This chapter further develops a line of reply to what I think are four major objections to the idea that universal consciousness grounds all being. I call these the Thales Objection, the Problem of the One and the Many, the Self-defeating Objection, and the Power Challenge.

The concept of “aesthetics” has a unique relation to media studies. I can’t think of another concept that is so central to the modern culture industries and yet also to the creation of media by individuals – such as the tens of millions of people worldwide today who use digital tools to make aesthetically refined photos for posting on Instagram, or the hundreds of millions that have the means to purchase beautiful designer clothes and home décor items. The Pinterest social network that reached 100 million users in 2015 is dominated by images of beautiful cloves, home décor, crafts, fashion, parties ideas, etc. The photos that we see around us every day have been refined in Photoshop to achieve visual perfection, and cinematography similarly uses digital tools to control precisely the aesthetics of every shot and frame.
