This website is about the philosophy of life of the noted writer Frida de Clercq Zubli (1902 –
1985). She wants to call to the pursuit of self-knowledge.
Self-knowledge is obtained by becoming aware of subconscious motives in the human mind. Frida de Clercq Zubli’s philosophy of life is based on this insight and it opens a new perspective on the meaning of human existence.
Frida has described her process of becoming aware in books and writings.
In the book “De Blijde Stilte” (The Joyful Silence), Frida examines the problem of a growing young girl’s increasingly severe deafness; the book was reprinted many times and it was awarded the title of the Best Dutch Youth Novel in 1937. The choice of “De Blijde Stilte” as the title of this website stems from the understanding that physical and mental restrictions need not stand in the way of our happiness in life; between the outer and inner world lies “the joyful silence”, accessible to all.
Within this perspective, Frida’s philosophy is a philosophy of redemption from the world of opposites.
