Met het overlijden van Etienne Vermeersch is een hele bibliotheek aan kennis en wijsheid teloorgegaan. Zijn geheugen was indrukwekkend. Hij kon bijvoorbeeld foutloos lange fragmenten uit de Ilias van Homerus, de Divina Commedia van Dante of de cantates van Bach voordragen. Hij was net zo goed vertrouwd met wiskundige inzichten, van de gulden snede over de Fibonaccigetallen en de identiteit van Euler, tot de relativiteitstheorie en de wetten van de thermodynamica. Hij had een grondige kennis van ...

Nietzsche's first published book, The Birth of Tragedy is a compelling argument for the necessity of art in life This landmark work of criticism is fuelled by Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner, to whom the book was dedicated.

He believed the combination of t...

An invitation to readers from every walk of life to rediscover the impractical splendors of a life of learning In an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatch...

No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. For if the artists of classical Greece could find the perfect fusion of content and form, modernity faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienat...
