Para ello, el escrito se divide en tres momentos. Primero, se hace una breve exposición de lo que implica el trabajo duro a partir de su personificación mitológica: Horme. Segundo, se sitúa a la skholè como un concepto en el que convergen la pereza y la contemplación en dirección a una capacidad reflexiva fundamentada desde el no-actuar. Tercero, se  argumenta que Ergía y Pasítea son diosas que dan fundamento a pensar la pereza como una categoría ontológica dentro del entendimiento que el ser humano hace de sí mismo. Esto último, ya que son deidades que tienen su ubicación dentro de la constitución humana antes de la skholè, lo cual las ubica como fundamentales para el estudio del ocio en la Antigüedad.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6823https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia/article/view/6823Copyright © 2021 Juan David Almeya SarmientoAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Co-herencia, Vol. 18, Núm. 35 (2021)Aergia and Pasithea: toward a cosmogonic understanding of laziness in Ancient GreeceErgía y Pasítea: hacia un entendimiento cosmogónico de la pereza en la Antigua Greciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1CosmogonyrestAncient GreecelazinessworkCosmogoníadescansoGrecia AntiguaperezatrabajoAlmeyda Sarmiento, Juan DavidUniversidad Industrial de SantaderCo-herencia1835247274ORIGINALErgía y Pasítea.pdfErgía y Pasítea.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf531102https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/0e7d3176-6f16-47f1-a742-eedfbafd24fb/download09e7b4926b8d0bb24c15001106a3005cMD51Aergia and Pasithea.htmlAergia and Pasithea.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html292https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/0a61bddb-4ff2-4c32-b51c-b2acedbe228e/download55fd64c907db87b7d493c6f4bf138becMD53THUMBNAILminiatura-coherencia.jpgminiatura-coherencia.jpgimage/jpeg230829https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/7e503d93-60a0-4911-94a8-eddc3cf82e21/download6c3e6ec217fd7c11f79cdda26d9319a2MD5210784/30994oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/309942022-05-16 03:00:01.056open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
