Insignificancia

Juan Pablo Davico

Philosophy. Behavioral Science Novel

Insignificancia is a fictional biography, based on the life of Auguste Comte, of what academics like Renzulli now call gifted of creative type, the strangest form of intellectual gifting. It is a book that exposes discoveries about human behavior. In this it resembles "Dialogues"; Galileo's book where a "story" is used to make known scientific discoveries that were considered revolutionaries in his time.

Due to its originality a new category must be created to define it: "Each page, by its degree of elaboration and creative content, seems a dozen; and if one tries to perceive the different layers of depth, the reading of a page, to put it somehow, gives the work of two tens": It is an epic story, it is a book of rational empirical moral, it is a book of behavioral sciences, is a work of art in the strict sense of the term... all integrated and dynamic, putting our reason and our emotions one step higher in each paragraph... with the unspoken purpose of exalt the creativity, the sense of Moral, the thirst for freedom and other virtues of the reader.
