John P. Doyle On the borders of being and knowing
some late scholastic thoughts on supertranscendental being
Sylvester Mauro, S.J. (1619-1687) noted that human intellects can grasp what is,what is not, what can be, and what cannot be. The first principle, 'it is not possible that the same thing simultaneously be and not be,' involves them all. The present volume begins with Greeks distinguishing 'being' from 'something' and proceeds to the late Scholastic doctrine of 'supertranscendental being,' which embraces both. On the way is Aristotle's distinction between 'being as being' and 'being as true' and his...

Ype de Boer Murakami en het gespleten leven
Haruki Murakami heeft de wereld betoverd met zijn indringende literatuur. Hoe komt het dat zijn verhalen zoveel mensen raken?

Deze originele bespreking van Murakami's alledaagse helden, magische figuren en droomachtige sferen nodigt uit om Murakami's fictie op het eigen...

Friedrich Nietzsche Het geval Wagner
gevolgd door Nietzsche contra Wagner
In Het geval Wagner zijn twee polemieken gebundeld die de filosoof in zijn laatste scheppingsperiode schreef over een thema dat hem levenslang bezighield: de muziek en de ontaarding ervan in Wagners muziektheater. Polemiek op hoog cultuurfilosofisch niveau, waarin muziek als het allesschragend fundament van de cultuur wordt doorgelicht. De muzikale grootmeester Richard Wagner, die aanvankelijk voor Nietzsche als de belofte gold voor de heropbloei van de Duitse en West-Europese cultuur wordt hierin...

a female struggle for autonomy in a men's church
Nineteenth-century female congregation founders could achieve levels of autonomy, power and prestige that were beyond reach for most women of their time. With a subject hidden for a long time behind a curtain of modesty and mystery, this book recounts the fascinating but ambiguous life stories of four Belgian religious women. A close reading of their personal writings unveils their conflicted existence: ambitious, engaged, and bold on the one hand, suffering and isolated on the other, they were both...

Emanuel Rutten Contra Kant
herwonnen ruimte voor transcendentie
Volgens de filosoof Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is onze kennis beperkt tot de mogelijke ervaring. De filosoof Emanuel Rutten (1973) ontwikkelt een alternatieve visie op kennis die deze begrenzing aanvecht en die ruimte maakt voor bovenzinnelijke inzichten.
