Claire Marin Explores New Beginnings in Philosophical Essay 'Los comienzos'

publication · 2026-06-06

French philosopher Claire Marin (Paris, 1974) examines the concept of beginnings in her essay 'Los comienzos' (2023; Spanish translation by Álex Gibert, published by Anagrama in 2026). The book's cover features a blank lined notebook and a classic yellow pencil. Marin, a doctor in philosophy, delves into the universal and heterogeneous theme of starting anew. Her previous work with Anagrama, 'Estar en su lugar' (2022), analyzed the spaces we inhabit from a humanistic perspective. The essay emphasizes verbs such as initiate, begin, start, inaugurate, undertake, open, and germinate.
