Another fascinating review of the Italian translation of "A New History of the Humanities"

An interesting review appeared in "Scienza e Fede" by Giulia Andronico of the Italian version of "A New History of the Humanities". According to the reviewer:

"La storia globale delle scienze umanistiche è per la prima volta raccolta e raccontata da Rens Bod nel suo bel volume ricco di spiegazioni e spunti interessanti, che già nel titolo “Le scienze dimenticate. Come le discipline umanistiche hanno cambiato il mondo” stimola la curiosità di chi si appresta alla sua lettura."

Or in English:

"The global history of the humanities is for the first time collected and told by Rens Bod in his beautiful volume full of explanations and interesting insights, which already in its title "The Forgotten Sciences. How the humanities changed the world" stimulates the curiosity of those who are about to read it."

31 december 2023: Ik spreek in "OVT" over het tragische einde van Taqi al-Din's observatorium

12 December 2023: Lecture at VUB Brussels: "What kind of knowledge is the pursuit of meaning?"

On 12 December at 16.15h, I will give a talk at the KIIP seminar entitled "What kind of knowledge is the pursuit of meaning?". In this talk I will present a longue durée exploration of meaning-making from a global perspective. I argue that a total of 185 distinct meaning-making practices can be discerned that can be grouped into 30 themes. I discuss a number of general patterns and principles that can be found in meaning-making practices across the world and will go into the question as to what kind of knowledge meaning-making actually is.

14-15 November 2023: Online Workshop "Epistemic Transfer in the Humanities"

On 14 November I will give a brief presentation to introduce the workshop on Epistemic Transfer in the History of the Humanities. Why and how do humanities disciplines borrow knowledge from one another? Under what conditions has knowledge transfer been (un)successful in the past? And what light, if at all, do historical examples shed on current forms of (inter)disciplinarity? If you're interested in these questions, join our online workshop.
