Lecture by Enrique Enriquez about his book Augur.

The augurs were in charge of inspecting the sky looking for signs in the flight of birds. Even if we no longer live in a reality in which a bird flying the wrong way is going to kill the merger of two companies, or prevent a war, it seemed important to keep some connection with the past through that word.

Augury is one of the oldest forms of divination. The ideas in the text do not have a deterministic tone but rather allow us to engage in a contemplative dialogue with the world.
