Onrechtvaardig diergebruik
In de hier geselecteerde artikelen besteedt drs. Titus Rivas aandacht besteed aan verschillende vraagstukken die verband houden met dieren, dierpsychologie en dierethiek in het algemeen en veganisme en dierenrechten in het bijzonder. Ze zijn oorspronkelijk gepubliceerd in Gezond Idee!, Leven en laten Leven, Psychologie en Prana, en op de site van Animal Freedom, de zogeheten Passie-site van de IKON en zijn eigen, inmiddels verdwenen site Kritisch. De stukken zijn systematisch geordend rond zes thema's: dieren, speciësisme (discriminatie op basis van diersoort), dierenbevrijding, veganisten, cultuur en natuur, en spiritualiteit. De auteur hoopt met deze veganistisch georiënteerde bundel een bijdrage te leveren tot verheldering rond enkele interessante vraagstukken. Op die manier wil hij het schrijnende speciësisme, waarvan dieren nog steeds massaal het slachtoffer worden, helpen verzwakken.
Uit het leven gegrepen

Metavertigo
Comment se retrouve-t-on sous hypnose assistant du Bouddha au VIIe siècle avant J.-C. ou propulsé sur Mars en 2071 ? Pourquoi a-t-on imaginé en Inde que les embryons sont dotés d'une super-mémoire, qu'ils se souviennent de leurs " vies antérieures " et oublient tout à la naissance ? Quels processus étranges, excentriques et paradoxaux l'hypnose stimule-t-elle ? Au moment où les ingénieurs de l'immortalité vont chercher dans le bouddhisme des sources d'inspiration pour renouveler leur conception du corps, de l'esprit et des machines, ce livre écrit par un anthropologue, spécialiste de l'Inde, propose un tout autre chemin. Il entremêle une enquête généalogique sur les transhum...

Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait
First published in 1993, Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait: Stories of an Icon examines one of the earliest and most celebrated paintings in the history of European art from a variety of perspectives. In her lucid analysis, Linda Seidel considers this famous double portrait as social record, legal document, material object, and poetic fiction. Each chapter of her study represents a distinct mode of inquiry and each situates the painting within a different discursive tradition. In this way, Seidel explores a variety of historical practices to illuminate the portrait's painted narrative. Through the implementation of a variety of interpretive strategies and in consultation with different types and categories of information, Stories of an Icon informs the viewer about the function and nature of early European painting, and invites the reader to reflect on the many ways in which works of art can be examined and reconfigured centuries after their creation.
The Hope of Israel
When The Hope of Israel was translated into English in 1652, its argument from Scripture that messianic redemption would not come to the Jewish people until they were scattered in all the corners of the Earth aroused great interest and played an instrumental part in the discussions in the Commonwealth under Cromwell which eventually led to the readmission of the Jews in 1656. This edition of that English text includes an introduction and notes which place the work in the intellectual context of its time.
