Poche donne nella storia ebbero la possibilità di distinguersi nelle discipline scientifiche, considerate appannaggio maschile. La più nota, nella tarda antichità, fu senza dubbio Ipazia, scienziata e filosofa, nata ad Alessandria d'Egitto nel 370 d.C., inventrice di strumenti come il planisfero e l'astrolabio. Figlia del matematico Teone, e lei stessa primo matematico donna della storia, fu la più nota esponente alessandrina della scuola neoplatonica, circondata dal rispetto di allievi giunti da ogni angolo del mondo.

Although the stories presented herein may not appear to have overt spiritual significance, they each have had a direct impact on the growth and evolution of my soul.

Vanaf Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) zijn we in de greep van het verlangen naar echtheid en authenticiteit. Naar de natuur, naar spontaniteit, jeugd, vriendschap en liefde. Meer dan 300 jaar geleden werd Rousseau geboren, maar de uitvinder van het ik is nog altijd onder ons. Dankzij sociale media snappen we meer dan ooit dat we onszelf moeten spelen. Denk ook aan de geregisseerde echtheid van het programma Boer Zoekt Vrouw en de door mediatraining gestuurde oprechtheid van de politicus. Er loopt een rechte lijn van Rousseau naar de smiley en andere emoticons.
