« To see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » : l’horizon moral dans les romans de George Eliot by Benjamine Toussaint

“…Her characters’ moral odyssey is about learning to see beyond the limits of their own self-centered experience; however, as Lydgate underlines in Middlemarch, « a man’s mind must be continually expanding and shrinking between the whole human horizon and the horizon of an object-glass. » We shall therefore focus not only on George Eliot’s insistence on the necessity « to see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » but also on the idea that a genuine moral horizon can only exist in her eyes if people develop the capacity to contemplate various horizons, not only the most distant ones but also those that are the closest to them so that they should not neglect the sufferings of individuals for the sake of abstract ideals. …”

Physical Activity Protects the Human Brain against Metabolic Stress Induced by a Postprandial and Chronic Inflammation by Leo Pruimboom, Charles L. Raison, Frits A. J. Muskiet

“…We review evidence that lack of physical activity induces chronic low-grade inflammation and, consequently, an energy conflict between the selfish immune system and the selfish brain. Although the notion that increased physical activity would improve health in the modern world is widespread, here we provide a novel perspective on this truism by providing evidence that recovery of normal human behaviour, such as spontaneous physical activity, would calm proinflammatory activity, thereby allocating more energy to the brain and other organs, and by doing so would improve human health.…”
