Michel Krielaars Het brilletje van Tsjechov
reizen door Rusland
Voor zijn reizen door Rusland kon Michel Krielaars zich geen betere gids wensen dan Anton Tsjechov. De grote Russische schrijver was een voortreffelijk beschouwer en wist als geen ander de aard van zijn land en landgenoten te doorgronden. Hij zag luiheid, dronkenschap, ontrouw, racisme en antisemitisme, maar ook veerkracht en relativeringsvermogen. Met Tsjechovs blik reist Krielaars zijn held achterna, van Moskou naar Sint-Petersburg en Jalta, van Perm naar Jekaterinburg, van het Siberische Tomsk...

Aris Gaaff Debts without redemption
cultural differences in First World War finance
Old war debts never die, they just fade away....... In 2015, Britain finally paid off a large war loan issued in 1917 to finance the First World War.

Pascal Borry | Gert Matthijs The human recipe
understanding your genes in today's society
A smart and witty guide to all you want to know about human genetics. Human genetics is not the playground of science alone. Genetics concerns all of us, for we all have DNA, genes, genomes, and chromosomes. Our genes determine partly our appearance and our behaviour, our talents and our health risks. The authors of The Human Recipe use humour to explain what we understand about human genetics. With anecdotes and topical examples, they demonstrate how genetics affects our everyday lives. What if...

Leo Samama The meaning of music

But what is music, and what does it mean to humans? How do we process it, and how do we create it? Musician Leo Samama discusses these and many other questions while shaping a vibrant picture of music's importance in human lives both past and present....

Satoshi Kikuchi From Eckhart to Ruusbroec
a critical inheritance of mystical themes in the fourteenth century
In this thorough textual, historical, and doctrinal study the author seeks to clarify the relationship between two prominent mystics of the fourteenth century: Meister Eckhart, the German Dominican, and Jan van Ruusbroec, the Brabantine Augustinian. Special attention is paid to Ruusbroec's criticism of mystical tenets circulating in Brabant at that time which were both textually and doctrinally related to Eckhart's condemned propositions in the papal bull In agro dominico. This fact implies that...

Vincent Icke Gravity does not exist
a puzzle for the 21st century
Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our...

Joop van Hezik Reconsidering Utopia
i have simply asked for permission
Joop van Hezik brings philosophy to life, in more ways than one. He shows that the ideology of `economic growth is the basis of our modern societies and economies, and even of our sustainable development policies. In this ideology people and nature seem to be merely instruments for economic growth. This results in destruction and the failure of sustainable development policies at all geographical levels. As Van Hezik clearly demonstrates, we need utopian thinking to reflect on the real values of...
