Cine Bus La Esperanza

El Cine Bus La Esperanza es un proyecto que, a través de una solución móvil, busca llevar un teatro de cine itinerante a 32 municipios del Valle del Cauca, para la exhibición gratuita de películas de cine en formato de video digital. Se trata de un bus adecuado con un teatro de cine en su interior, con capacidad para 30 personas y un mecanismo para ensamblar una pantalla en su parte exterior para funciones al aire libre. Al ser una estrategia de formación y sensibilización de públicos este proyecto lleva consigo una propuesta pedagógica con el fin de posicionar el teatro de cine como un espacio público estratégico entre la población de los municipios del Valle del Cauca.

A few philosophical ruminations on the human condition and choosing to live well

The notion that life is meaningful through choosing to live well has historically received substantive attention in various philosophical circles, notably the ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and more recently several of the existentialists. In some respects, the idea of choosing to live well is a “thematization” of two widely-recognized, independent components of a meaningful life: happiness and authenticity. I develop this notion of choosing to live well by exploring, developing, and relating these conceptions of happiness and authenticity. By appealing to a very basic account of human nature that has found favor among a great number of people, I show how happiness and authenticity complement each other as conditions for the possibility of living meaningfully.
