De omweg van de wetenschap
Het verhaal van de Belgische en de Nederlandse omgang met het positivisme kent grote parallellen. Toch getuigde de intellectuele cultuur in beide landen van eigen gevoeligheden, vergelijkbaar met de uiteenlopende ontwikkeling van het positivisme in Frankrijk en in Engeland. Toen Nietzsche, de legendarische grondlegger van het positivisme, Auguste Comte, in 1889 omschreef als een schrandere jezuïet die via de omweg van de wetenschap de Fransen naar Rome had willen leiden, gaf hij een rake typering van het negentiende-eeuwse positivisme. De wetenschap vormde voor het positivisme immers geen doel, maar een weg waarlangs een groots maatschappelijk, moreel en zelfs religieus project kon worden w...
Realms of Ritual
While earlier historians have seen the elaborate public rituals of the Burgundian dukes as stagnant forms held over from the chivalric world of the High Middle Ages, Peter Arnade argues that they were a vital theater of power through which the ducal court and the urban centers constantly renegotiated their relationship. This book is the first to apply the combined insights of social, political, and cultural history to an important but little-explored area of medieval and early modern Europe, the Burgundian Netherlands. Realms of Ritual traces the role of ritual in encounters between the dukes of Burgundy (later the Habsburg princes) and the townspeople of Ghent, the most important city in th...
A Research Agenda for Basic Income
Highlighting the diversity and complexity of the global Basic Income debate, Malcolm Torry assesses the history, current state, and future of research in this important field.

The Origins of Universal Grants
Should all young adults receive a capital grant? Should all individuals be given a lifetime regular income? Would either form of payment be just or unjust? These questions figure prominently in recent social philosophy and policy discussions on 'stakeholding' and 'basic income'. Both types of proposal have a long, but largely unknown history. This anthology contains a wide variety of historical contributions, some of which are presented in English for the first time, highlighting striking parallels between past and present debates.
The Civilising Offensive
"This volume offers a multifaceted selection of studies on 19th-century Belgian reformers and initiatives they instigated to solve the ‘social question’ by ‘civilising’ and moralising the lower classes. Around 1850 Belgium was continental Europe’s most heavily industrialised state. From the mid-century until the Belle Époque many international social reform associations were based in Belgium, as well as their main international actors. This book aims to place the history of social, moral and educational reform in Belgium during the long 19th century within a broader European perspective. This collection of contributions by both young and established scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds not only fills some gaps in Belgian historiography, but also offers a better understanding of broad epochal processes such as the bourgeois civilising offensive, the expansion of educational action and the historical growth of welfare states.
