Han F. de Wit De lotus en de roos
boeddhisme voor westerlingen
Welke antwoorden geeft het boeddhisme op levensvragen die in onze cultuur en in deze tijd aan de orde zijn? Hoe verhoudt de roos van waarachtige menselijkheid uit de westerse cultuur zich tot de lotus van verlichting uit het boeddhisme. Hoewel het boeddhisme in het Westen aan populariteit wint en er tal van klassieke teksten uit deze traditie in vertaling verschijnen, is het niet eenvoudig om daarin de weg te vinden naar antwoorden op vragen die nu voor ons essentieel zijn. Daarom treedt de auteur...

Jan Geurtz Verslaafd aan liefde
de weg naar zelfacceptatie en geluk in relaties
In Verslaafd aan liefde laat Jan Geurtz op heldere wijze zien dat onze zoektocht naar liefde en erkenning voortkomt uit een fundamentele zelfafwijzing. Die proberen we te compenseren met onze zoektocht naar waardering van anderen. Maar dat werkt averechts: het maakt ons juist onzekerder en dus steeds afhankelijker. Zo ontstaat er een verslaving aan liefde, erkenning en de veiligheid van een relatie. De meeste liefdesrelaties lopen daardoor na een tijdje op de klippen, of misschien nog erger verzanden...

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...

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...

Ioannis Papachristou John Philoponus on Physical Place
This book examines the place of physical bodies, a major topic of natural philosophy that has occupied philosophers since antiquity. Aristotle's conceptions of place (topos) and the void (kenon), as expounded in the Physics, were systematically repudiated by John Philoponus (ca. 485-570) in his philosophical commentary on that work. The primary philosophical concern of the present study is the in-depth investigation of the concept of place established by Philoponus, putting forward the claim that...

Summistae
the commentary tradition on Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae from the 15th to the 17th centuries
Thomas Aquinas' Summa theologiae is one of the classics in the history of theology and philosophy. Beyond its influence in the Middle Ages, its importance is also borne out by the fact that it became the subject of commentary. During the sixteenth century it was gradually adopted as the official text for the teaching of scholastic theology in most European Catholic universities. As a result, university professors throughout Europe and the colonial Americas started lecturing and producing commentaries...

Emmanuel Falque Nothing to It
reading Freud as a philosopher
The confrontation between philosophy and psychoanalysis has had its heyday. 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...

Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar
Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

The Quaestiones de ente of Peter Thomae, composed at Barcelona ca. 1325, is the longest medieval work devoted to the problem of being as well as the most systematic. The work is divided into three parts: the concept of being, the attributes of being, and the descent...
