  • Lezing #1: Nietzsche - De kunst van het leven, door Denker des Vaderlands Paul van Tongeren

    "Alles wat mij niet doodt, maakt mij sterker" zei filosoof Nietzsche.  Dat bleek voor velen een troost in coronatijd waarin we vooral op onszelf waren aangewezen en eenzaamheid en depressie op de loer lagen. Want, zo redeneert de filosoof met de hamer, juist in tijden van lijden ontwikkelt de mens zich. Moeten we afzien om te kunnen groeien? Lezing door Denker des Vaderlands Paul van Tongeren.

  • Book Club #2: 1984 and the surveillance society by Vivien Butot
    It is almost impossible to discuss 1984 without making a connection to the present day, in which surveillance is widely used - for example by means of mobile phones, surveillance cameras and the ‘bonuskaart’ at the Albert Heijn supermarket. Is Big Brother watching us? And who is Big Brother in today's society? Vivien Butot is doing his PhD research at Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences for Centre for BOLD (Big Open and Linked Data) Cities, in which he focuses on the relationship between developments in the field of smart cities and privacy. For Studium Generale he recorded a podcast on whether or not 1984 is a good metaphor for the surveillance society as we know it today. Or did Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and Franz Kafka (The Trial) had a better foretelling ability?

  • Book Club #1: Introduction to The Plague by prof.dr. Ruud Welten
    73 years after it first saw light, The Plague by Albert Camus hits the bestseller lists. Why is this book a must-read? Could existentialism help us to relate to the current situation? What themes in the book need a closer look to enjoy it even more? To get you started, prof.dr. Ruud Welten recorded a literary-philosophical introduction to this Nobel Prize winner and the book that is more urgent than ever before.
