With the sudden death of the father, and with the slow, painful deterioration of the mother into her dementia, followed...

Katrien Schaubroeck The normativity of what we care about
a love-based theory of practical reasons
A love-based reason theory as a new perspective in the debate on practical reasons. Reasons and obligations pervade our lives. The alarm clock gives us a reason to get up in the morning, the expectations of colleagues or clients give us a reason to do our jobs well, the misery in developing countries gives us a reason to donate money to Oxfam, a headache gives us a reason to take an aspirin. Looking for unity in variety, philosophers wonder why a consideration counts as a reason to do something....

Dries Raeymaekers One foot in the palace
the Habsburg Court of Brussels and the politics of access in the reign of Albert and Isabella, 1598-1621
The splendor and enticement of the Archdukes' Court in Brussels The Habsburg Court of Brussels remains one of the few early modern princely courts that have never been thoroughly studied by historians. Yet it offers a unique case, particularly with regard to the first decades of the seventeenth century.

His research has produced evidence for a rapid creation of the photon like particles A (acon) from the quantum mechanical VOID, followed by a rearranging of 24 As in a circle, designated as B (belton). Four beltons, arranged into a cross, form the photon like C (cosmon). He shows that particles with a gravitational mass continuously...
