he way we understand the world we live in is changing. Our traditional understanding is being challenged by developments in physics, including quantum mechanics, and our inability to explain certain complex phenomena such as consciousness. In this book, scholars from a variety of backgrounds discuss how our understanding of our world is expanding to include such phenomena.
This book gives answers to questions surrounding the rise of autobiographical writing from the sixteenth to the twentieth century by analyzing texts varying from the time of the Spanish Inquisi tion to post-war Japan.
Omniconomics shows how we can make human society intrinsically sustainable, harmonically embedded in nature, with the help of a completely new approach in which traditional economics is transformed. Citing the fallacies of existing economic approaches as directly responsible for many of the environmental and social threats faced by society today, Niko Roorda presents a new, interdisciplinary science: omniconomics. This framework has its foundations in an innovative, joined-up approach, in which all aspects of the natural and social sciences are inextricably linked. It will better allow for new solutions to tackling urgent issues, including climate change, deforestation, environmental and eco...
In a major challenge to African philosophy, this book demonstrates the importance of the universalisation question for every committed African philosopher. Rooted in Africa’s colonial legacy, the universalisation question challenges the African thinker to show how authentically African philosophical concepts and phenomena can be universally applicable in a globalising world. In this highly original book, the author inserts the philosophy of consolationism into African philosophical discourse, constructing a unique philosophical system that is at once African and universally relevant. The book engages major African and Western philosophers of diverse ideological leanings in a compelling dialogue that announces the future of world philosophy as one of interculturality, in which a common philosophical horizon is forged out of the cultural diversities of the world for the edification of humanity in a continually changing world. This book will be an important read for researchers in the fields of African Studies, intercultural philosophy, philosophy of mind, and existentialism.
This book introduces a refreshing approach to twenty-first-century scientific approach in an age, which is also known as the Century of Complexity. It deals with the deep problem of complexity, being operative from the bottom-up. The current lack of understanding of complexity has led scholars into the so-called embarrassment of complexity. A long overdue paradigm shift is necessary to address complexity as generative complexity and brings readers to the edge of a scientific revolution: that is, a generative revolution in the Century of Complexity. The book offers a radical shift of paradigm from the paradigm of simplifying into the new generative paradigm of complexifying about processes th...

De autobiografie is booming business. Op de hedendaagse boekenmarkt verschijnt een groot aantal levensverhalen, variërend van memoires van beroemde personen tot herinneringen van ‘gewone’ mensen in bijzondere omstandigheden. De interesse voor persoonlijke geschiedenis is niet nieuw, zo blijkt uit Publieke levens. Tussen 1850 en 1918 verdrievoudigde het aantal gedrukte autobiografieën bijna. Marijke Huisman onderzoekt deze stijging in het licht van ontwikkelingen op de 19de-eeuwse boekenmarkt. Zij behandelt de plaats en betekenis van autobiografieën binnen het totale boekenaanbod, de marketing en het beleid van uitgevers, alsmede de ontvangst van autobiografieën door de literaire kritiek. De studie besluit met een uitgebreide analyse van de manieren waarop vrouwen zich via de boekenmarkt wisten te manifesteren als de auteurs van hun eigen levensverhaal. Vanuit een boekhistorisch perspectief biedt Huisman nieuwe inzichten over autobiografisch schrijverschap en de geschiedenis van de autobiografie. Het boek geeft voorts concrete invulling aan de vaak met de mond beleden noodzaak tot contextualisering en historisering van de autobiografische praktijk.
