Het Unieke Dier behoort volgens NRC tot "De 5 beste boeken van 24 recensenten"

Wat een verrassing! Mijn boek Het Unieke Dier behoort volgens NRC tot "De 5 beste boeken van 24 recensenten":

"In duizelingwekkende vaart behandelt de Amsterdamse hoogleraar alle mogelijke verschillen van mensen met andere levende wezens. Er blijft weinig unieks over, behalve het vermogen tot onbegrensde recursie."

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.
