Maarten Doorman Rousseau

Een hoorcollege over de uitvinder van het authentieke in onszelf

Vanaf Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) zijn we in de greep van het verlangen naar echtheid en authenticiteit. Naar de natuur, naar spontaniteit, jeugd, vriendschap en liefde. Meer dan 300 jaar geleden werd Rousseau geboren, maar de uitvinder van het ik is nog altijd onder ons. Dankzij sociale media snappen we meer dan ooit dat we onszelf moeten spelen. Denk ook aan de geregisseerde echtheid van het programma Boer Zoekt Vrouw en de door mediatraining gestuurde oprechtheid van de politicus. Er loopt...

Elsa Giovanna Simonetti A perfect medium?

oracular divination in the thought of Plutarch

An in-depth analysis of oracular divination in Plutarch's thought.

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...

Natural spectaculars

aspects of plutarch’s philosophy of nature

The value of Plutarch's perception of physical reality and his attitude towards the natural spectacle. Plutarch was very interested in the natural world around him, not only in terms of its elementary composition and physical processes, but also with respect to its providential ordering and marvels. His writings teach us a lot about his perception of physical reality and about his attitude to the natural spectacle. He found his greatest inspiration in the ontological and epistemological framework...
