Rispinge 3
0€ 34,95Een actualiteit echter waarvan met het schrift de akte gepasseerd is. Een verleden dat niet zonder lastgeving is. Het brengt mee met anderen het gesprek aan te gaan en zich te buigen over wat is neergeschreven. Een gesprek dat verbuigt wat er staat, maar niet zonder nog meer zich daarvoor te buigen. Ofwel, eigen mening doet ertoe, maar meer nog is het zaak er op te letten bij anderen niet als betweter over te komen. Betweterij die ook wel theologie wordt genoemd. Maar dan kun je toch wel aan de gang blijven? Nou en?

Seneca en de mysterieuze kosmos
0€ 17,95In onze tijd geloven veel mensen niet of niet meer in de klassieke christelijke God. Toch blijven zij vaak wel denken dat er iets moet zijn, een essentie boven of buiten onze aarde, waaruit alles en allen zijn voortgekomen. We bedoelen de zogenoemde “ietsisten”. Door traditionele gelovigen werden en worden zij doorgaans behandeld als ondergeschoven kindjes.

Tannenberg
0€ 19,95Tannenberg; looking back, this town and battle symbolise an atypical episode in the First World War: the war of movement. In reality the war quickly turned into a trench war, such as we knew it in the West. With the battle at Tannenberg and the ones that followed, which all had a quite positive outcome for Germany, Ludendorff had left his mark. is untimately brought the duo Von Hindenburg – Ludendorff to the absolute military top of Germany. As from 1917 they, together with the emperor, dictated the course of the war. Ludendorff left such a heavy mark
on everything that people also referred to it as ‘Ludendor ’s dictatorship’. Not only did he interfere in military matters, but also in politics, the war economy, propaganda, and he played a decisive role in major war decisions in other areas, such as diplomacy and the submarine war. In the end the war became identified with Ludendorff , who had to step aside when the
unavoidable defeat came in 1918. is was a bitter disappointment for Ludendorff . -
Tegen de Verlichting
0€ 16,95Een tijdsgeest staat niet op zichzelf, maar is altijd voortgekomen uit een historisch verloop. Alleen met de historische achtergrond kunnen we de actualiteit begrijpen. In Tegen de verlichting gaat Stijn Klarenbeek terug naar deze wortels. De Moderniteit vindt haar oorsprong in de Verlichting en de Romantiek – twee stromingen die voortdurend met elkaar botsen. En juist dit conflict zien we in deze tijd terug. Het conflict tussen individualisme en collectivisme, tussen nationalisme en kosmopolitisme, tussen progressieve vooruitgang en conservatief behoud, tussen elite en volk: al deze spanningen vallen samen met de spanning tussen Verlichting en Romantiek.

The beginning, the end and everything in between
0€ 19,95The beginning, the end, and everything in between stars the man. It’s about the life of a Dutch man, born in 1939 and up to the end that is yet to come. Preparations have started for that end, however. Judging by the large membership numbers of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vrijwillige Euthanasie-the Dutch euthanasia association-he is not the only one.

The gap between high and low education
0€ 14,95The gap between high and low educated has a long history, since the Renaissance in the 16th century, and she still grows. She creates discrimination and prejudice, and is accompanied by a gap in income.
In the 20th century there appeared to be a rebirth of humanism, in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, but that faded away when the ‘babyboomers’ joined the game of the established order.
The gap is fatal, not only for the low educated, but for society as a whole, including the high educated. Growth of understanding, knowledge and skill requires assimilation and accommodation, and the gap limits this. For a flou-rishing society, a connection between theory and practice is needed.

The important difference between looking and seeing
0€ 19,95The distant ancestors from Egypt and India spoke of the veil of Isis or Maya. It is the mother (Isis, Maya) who gives life and teaches a child to look. She offers words and customs that guide us towards a world we discover and form. However, in order to see you must lift that veil. Other people cannot do that for you. You have to experience and discover the world behind the words and through the acquired habits, in doing so lift the veil of Isis and start to see. This subsequently changes the way one looks and experiences the world. In addition, it offers new opportunities in art, politics, and science.
