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...

Alles over Historia De laatste geheimen van de tempeliers

Voor geschiedkundigen zijn de middeleeuwen nog steeds gehuld in mystiek. De bronnen vertellen over machtswellustige koningen en corrupte pausen, die heersen in een tijd waarin onderdrukking, honger en ziekte dagelijkse kost zijn. Maar er bloeien ook idealen op. Met een blind geloof in Gods woord gaan heilige ridderordes de zwakken beschermen. Het sterkst staan de tempeliers, die geliefd zijn en die hun eer hoog in het vaandel hebben. Maar volgens de geruchten hellen de ridders langzaam over naar...

Greg Houwer Into the white

Kafka and his metamorphoses

Into the White lays bare a hidden overall logic in Kafka's work. Instead of restoring an initial but perturbed balance - the standard pattern for a piece of fiction -, Kafka's characters always do the opposite: they do everything they can to maintain the imbalance. The book shows how this should be linked to Kafka's own attitude as a writer. Writing, for Kafka, always gave birth to promises that could not be kept. It opens up gates that the writer is not allowed to enter. In the stories that deal...

A versatile gentleman

consistency in Plutarch's writing; studies offered to Luc van der Stockt on the occasion of his retirement

Essays on erudite versatility in Plutarch's works. Plutarch was a brilliant Platonist, an erudite historian, a gifted author of highly polished literary dialogues, a priest of Apollo at Delphi, and a devoted politician in his hometown Chaeronea. He felt confident in the most technical and specialized discussions, yet was not afraid of rhetorical generalizations. In his voluminous oeuvre, he appears as a sharp polemicist and a loving father, an ardent pupil but also a kind, inspiring teacher, a sober...
