Dimitri Verhulst Spoo Pee Doo
Europe is burning, while we casually order another drink. Do we defend our freedoms or our appetite? On the clash of religious fanaticism and freedom, from whatever.

Europe shakes and trembles, feels suddenly transported by a revival of religious fanaticism back to an age that seemed to have been put to bed forever. Did we feed those monsters ourselves? The urgent need for answers and solutions meets no response. Despite...

After the major debates between Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Henry, this dialogue now seems to have broken down. It has therefore proven necessary and gainful to revisit these debates to explore their re-usability and the degree to which they can provide new insights from a contemporary point of view. It can be said that contemporary philosophy suffers from an 'excess of...

Henny Bos If criticism hurts
(or a blessing in disguise)
We all get criticized. That's part of life. Parents, partners, friends, haters, strangers, they all have an opinion on what you do, what you don't do, and what you should do. But if the critique hurts and leads to anger or sadness, it means you are a victim of two unexpected enemies: your ego and your inner critic. If you want to be free from the pain of judgment, you need to say goodbye to your ego and welcome your true Self, the authentic and unique person that you are. Henny Bos links personal...

expand your systemic consciousness and live your life well
Using the fountain as metaphor for the family system, you learn what your own, unique place is. Once in your place, you receive the flow essential to how your life progresses. Some people are somehow able to get the almost impossible done. But what do you have an influence on, and what do you not have an influence on? The trick is to make that distinction. When you're better able to recognize the force fields in which you find yourself, when you learn to observe without judgment and surrender to...

Patrick Develtere | Huib Huyse | Jan Van Ongevalle International development cooperation today
a radical shift towards a global paradigm
Over the past 60 years high-income countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid.

Besides that the small community of Surinam and the relationships pave the way for self-censorship. The truth can only be heard on the street, where the local language Sranan is spoken....
