Sophus Helle A Theory of Dog Ears
Why do people treat their books so differently? Some people like to keep their books in near-mint condition, handling them with metaphorical gloves on and making sure that there is not a single scratch to be found on their cover. Other people, like Sophus, want to dogear the corners, doodle in the margins, and crack the spine of every book they read. In this episode, Sophus traces the origins of this book-lover battle. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle Sound editing by Simone Nystrup-Larsen Edited...

Sophus Helle Forgetting to Forget
We all have something we would like to forget, or something we would like others to forget about us. But it can be surprisingly difficult to forget. You can try to make yourself hold on to a memory, but letting go of it can be much trickier. Forgetfulness comes, wanted or otherwise, but always at its own pace. This episode charts various people who have tried, and failed, to bring about forgetfulness, from the German philosopher Immanuel Kant to the American actress Barbra Streisand. Hosted and...

Sophus Helle Monkey Mind
Sophus launches the podcast with a deep-dive into the human mind, this engine of chaos and expanse of possibility we all carry around inside us. The episode begins with a reminder—taken from, of all places, the British tax collection agency—to marvel at the clouds and allow ourselves to be stunned by volcanoes. And it ends with a walk through the woods of southern Italy, in the company of a dog and three Paleolithic teenagers. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle Sound editing by Simone Nystrup-Larsen...

Fabio Bolzonar Catholicism and the Welfare State in Secular France
Continuities and Changes in the Catholic Mobilizations in the Social Policy Domain (1940-2017)
Even though the policy impact of Catholicism has increasingly been acknowledged, existing scholarship lacks a coherent view on its changing influence over time and in different political contexts. In this book, Fabio Bolzonar investigates the influence of Catholicism on developments in French social protection from World War II to the mid-2010s. He discusses the factors that have favoured or inhibited it and explores the hybridization between Catholic values and secular principles in the social engagement...

Epicureanism and Scientific Debates
Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically...

Barbara Comyns The Vet's Daughter
'A small Gothic masterpiece...

Growing up in Edwardian south London, Alice Rowlands longs for romance and excitement, for a release from a life that is dreary and lonely. Her father, a vet, is harsh and oppressive; his new girlfriend, brash and lascivious. Alice seeks refuge in fantasy, in her...

My book ‘Ik voel n/iets voor verandering’ (english translation in progress) and Blogs explain how essential unbiasedness is. Psychologically speaking: without...

The meditations are specially designed to help you discover your focus point. And to really strengthen your mindfulness-muscle...

Milo Scheeren Avoiding or Awakening
What is the real story? Many people no longer recognize themselves in what is being reported by governments and media, or doubt whether they are being told the whole truth. And what happened to dialogue? Why has widespread censorship by mainstream media and social media become commonplace? It seems as if only one truth is allowed, namely the government’s. In that case, do we still live in a democracy? This book has been written for and by people who do not want to look away, but who dare...

The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and historical...

This Obscure Thing Called Transparency
Politics and Aesthetics of a Contemporary Metaphor
Transparency is the metaphor of our time. Whether in government or corporate governance, finance, technology, health or the media - it is ubiquitous today, and there is hardly a current debate that does not call for more transparency. But what does this word actually stand for and what are the consequences for the life of individuals? Can knowledge from the arts, and its play of visibility and invisibility, tell us something about the paradoxical logics of transparency and mediation? This Obscure...

Victor M. Salas Immanent Transcendence
Francisco Suárez’s Doctrine of Being
Long considered one of late scholasticism's most important thinkers, Francisco Suárez has, paradoxically enough, often been treated only in relation to other medieval authors or as a transitional figure in the shift from medieval to early modern philosophy. As such, his thought has often been obscured and framed in terms of an alien paradigm. This book seeks to correct such approaches and examines Suárez's metaphysical thinking as it stands on its own. Suárez is shown to be much more in line with...
