Women, Art and Observant Franciscan Piety

Caterina Vigri and the Poor Clares in Early Modern Ferrara

The Poor Clares convent of Corpus Domini was the f irst home of Saint Catherine of Bologna, but after her departure, the convent reinvented itself as a noblewomen’s retreat. In doing so, it transformed ideals of poverty, humility and women’s education. This book, grounded in archival research and close examination of artworks from the convent, explores the visual culture and social history of an early modern Franciscan women’s community. Its careful analysis yields new insights into the changing role of the community in the d’Este political and civic spheres.

Kathleen Giles Arthur is professor emerita of Italian Renaissance art history at James Madison University.

Divine and Demonic Imagery at Tor de’Specchi, 1400-1500

Religious Women and Art in 15th-century Rome

This book offers the f irst English-language examination of art commissioned by religious women in f ifteenth-century Rome. Detailed photographs show readers the impressive array of paintings commis-sioned by oblates for their living quarters, Tor de’Specchi. The book focuses primarily on the sensual and corporeal, as earthly,

divine, and demonic f igures occur throughout the imagery. The book uses formal analysis, theories of vision and anthropological models to explore the disciplinary and educational purposes of the images, as well as their relationship to important papal projects at the Vatican.

Godefridus SchalckenA Dutch Painter in Late Seventeenth-Century London

In his own day, Godefridus Schalcken (1643–1706) was an internationally renowned Dutch painter, but little is known about the four years that he spent in London. Using newly discovered docu-ments, this book provides the f irst comprehensive examination of Schalcken’s activities there. The author analyses Schalcken’s strategic appropriations of

English styles, his attempts to exploit gaps in the art market, and his impact on tastes in London’s milieu. Five chapters survey his art during these years, concluding with a critical catalogue of all his London-period work.

Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe

This monumental encyclopedia documents the presence and effects of cultural consciousness-raising in the early decades of European nationalism. The volume tracks how intellectuals, historians, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics with effects that are still felt today.

"This excellent Encyclopedia is an extraordinarily rich source of information on the cultural

background of nation-formation. Its sophisticated and effective system of cross-references allows it to go beyond earlier English-language surveys in mapping all European nations comprehensively,

regardless of size or power, in both East and West. It is equally even-handed in analysing "Romantic

Nationalism", and the 19th-century national movements that were inspired by it, as motivated by an idealistic, Europe-wide cultivation effort for

the improvement of national cultures (which I consider to form part of European values)."

— Professor Miroslav Hroch, Charles University, Prague

"Ambitious in its scope and as far as I can see, impeccable in its execution, the ERNiE is a major

addition to earlier historical encyclopaedias. It will become indispensable to scholars in all the

disciplines concerned with either nationalism or romanticism."

— Professor Peter Burke, University of Cambridge (Emmanuel College)

Joep Leerssen is one of the world’s leading authorities on the cultural history of nationalism. For his work he was given the Spinoza Award in 2008, the highest award in Dutch science.

Language Choice in Enlightenment EuropeEducation, Sociability, and Governance

This multinational collection of essays challenges the traditional image of a monolingual Ancient Regime in Enlighten-ment Europe, both East and West. Its archival research explores the important role played by selective language use in social life and in the educational provisions in the early constitution of modern society. A broad range of case studies show how language was viewed and used symbolically by social groups—ranging from the nobility to the peasantry—to develop, express, and mark their identities.

The Fonte Gaia from Renaissance to Modern TimesA History of Construction, Preservation, and Reconstruction in Siena

This book details the history of the beautiful Fonte Gaia in Siena, Italy. Created in the f ifteenth century, the fountain was eventually replaced by a copy in the nineteenth century—a copy which itself is now old enough to need preservation. This book looks at the Italian Renaissance through the fate of the fountain, showing how both the Risorgimento and Purism have shaped our perceptions of the period and its art.

Antipodean Early ModernEuropean Art in Australian Collections, c. 1200-1600

A Rothschild prayer book; an Italian bronze casket by Antico; a lavishly illustrated Carnival chronicle from sixteenth-century Germany; an altarpiece by the famous Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Younger—much of the artwork in this book, held by Australian collections, is essentially unknown beyond the continent, and so this collection of essays will surprise even specialists. The authors showcase these extraordinary objects to their full potential, revealing a wide range of contemporary art and historical research.

“Antipodean Early Modern focuses on underpublished works of art, as well as

celebrated ones, giving them greater exposure to scholars and museum-goers. The variety of methodologies, aims and

results points to the richness of interpretation inspired by the collections

under consideration.” — Elizabeth J. Moodey, Vanderbilt University

“The innovation here is two-fold: bringing together a range of important manuscripts and artworks in Australian collections to an

international audience to invite more scholarly attention and providing a wealth of current scholarly insights on these works.

A timely, illuminating collection of essays, which combines readability and rigour for

scholarly audiences as well as students." — Erin Griffey, University of Auckland

Lyric Address in Dutch Literature, (1250-1800)In their accessible analysis, these preeminent translations of ten canonical Dutch poems discuss each poem’s historical context, revealing its political or ideological framing, religious elements, or the self-representational interests of the poet. The book focuses on how the use of the speaker’s “I” creates distance or proximity to the social context of the time. Close, detailed analysis of rhetorical tech-niques, such as the use of the apostrophe, illuminates the ways in which poetry reveals tensions in society.

Cornelis van der Haven is an assistant professor of early modern Dutch literature at Ghent University. Jürgen Pieters is professor in literary theory at Ghent University.

“A very interesting and revealing project. It not only takes up the question of lyric address as a central and often neglected topic in the study

of lyric, but it also looks at a range of Dutch poems from some five centuries. For a foreigner it offers very impressive, very

readable English translations of fascinating Dutch lyrics from the 13th-18th centuries.”

For generations maps of the pilgrimage roads and of the reconquista have bedevilled the study of Spanish art and architecture. They have also infiltrated the popular imagination and come to dominate the ways we think about Spain and Portugal. Art in Spain and Portugal from the Romans to the Early Middle Ages: Routes and Myths sets out to diminish the power of these images and to enrich the wider English-language literature on early medieval art. Starting with the Romans and working through the vertical layers to the early Romanesque period Rose Walker draws together scholarly work hitherto confined within disciplinary boundaries, specialist regional studies, and findings familiar only to Spanish-speaking audiences. The author builds on these studies and her own research to present narratives that question art historical and archaeological orthodoxies. New perspectives emerge from the routes along which wealth and artistic expertise crossed the peninsula, showing the endurance of the north-south axis and the strength of networks and pragmatic alliances that often operated without regard for religious difference.

Rose Walker (PhD, University of London, 1995) is an Associate Scholar at The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. Her research focuses on Spanish medieval art.

Heritage and TourismPlaces, Imageries and the Digital Age

Heritage and tourism mutually reinforce each other, with the presentation of heritage at physical sites mirrored by the ways heritage is presented on the internet. This interdiscipli-nary book uses humanities and social sciences to analyse the ways that heritage is branded

and commodif ied, how stakeholders organise place brands, and how digital strategies shape how visitors appreciate heritage sites. The book covers a wide geographic diversity, offering the reader the chance to f ind cross-cutting themes and area-specif ic features of the f ield.

Imagining CommunitiesHistorical Reflections on the Process of Community Formation

In his groundbreaking Imagined Communities, f irst published in 1983, Benedict Anderson argued that members of a community experience a “deep, horizontal camaraderie.” Despite being strangers, members feel connected in a web of imagined experiences.

Yet while Anderson’s insights have been hugely influential, they remain abstract: it is diff icult to imagine imagined communities. How do they evolve and how is membership constructed cognitively, socially and cultur-ally? How do individuals and communities

contribute to group formation through the act of imagining? And what is the glue that holds communities together? Imagining Communities examines actual processes of experiencing the imagined community, exploring its emotive force in a number of case studies. Communal bonding is analysed, offering concrete insights on where and by whom the nation (or social group) is imagined and the role of individuals therein. Offering eleven empirical case studies, ranging from the premodern to the modern age, this volume looks at and beyond the nation and includes regional as well as transnational communities as well.

Gemma Blok is assistant professor in modern Dutch history at the University of Amsterdam. Vincent Kuitenbrouwer is lecturer at the History Department of the University of Amsterdam. Claire Weeda works as an assistant professor at the History Department of Nijmegen University.

The Velislav Bible, Finest Picture-Bible of the Late Middle Ages

Biblia depicta as Devotional, Mnemonic and Study Tool

The Velislav Bible, one of the most beautiful medieval Bohemian manuscripts, is a bible imageé in which pictorial narrative dominates the written word, blending, at the same time, common biblical texts with a local legend

about the patron of medieval Bohemia, St. Wenceslas. Deliberating about the role of this Bible, the essays collected in this monograph approach its manuscript in an interdisciplinary manner. By combining historical and textual analyses with the surveys of the Bible’s art and iconography, this f irst modern edition of the Velislav Bible and its tituli shows that it was used as a didactic tool in clerics’ education.

Virtue Ethics and Education from Late Antiquity to the Eighteenth CenturyThis book argues that premodern societies were characterised by the quest for “virtue.” The concept of virtue, complicated and much fought-over, permeated society, encouraging wisdom, courage, and justice, while simultane-ously legitimising social hierarchies based on sex and nationality. By examining pedagogical texts, rituals, performances, and images, this

book illuminates the evolution of virtue through time, helping readers understand the guiding principles of historical action.

Pope Eugenius III (1145-1153)The First Cistercian Pope

Elected pope in the wake of a rebellion, Eugenius III came to power as a relative unknown during a time of crisis. This book examines the controversial developments in papal justice and theological debate during his pontif icate, his treatment of Cistercian monasteries, his relationships with France, Spain, and Rome, his work in the papal states, and the crusades. It offers a new view of an under-appreciated pope

and the place of the church in a rapidly changing European society.

Gendered Temporalities in the Early Modern WorldIs time gendered? This international, interdisciplinary anthology studies the early modern era to analyse how material objects express, shape, complicate, and extend human concepts of time and how people commemorate time differently. It examines conceptual aspects of time, such as the categories women and men use to def ine it, and the somatic, lived experiences of time ranging between an instant and the course of family life. Drawing on a wide array of textual and material primary sources, this book assesses the ways that gender and other categories of difference affect understandings of time.

English Aristocratic Women's Religious Patronage, 1450-1550The Fabric of Piety

The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected. This study of upper-class women in the f ifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncover-ing the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signif ies their preferred identities.

Structure and Features of Anna Komnene’s AlexiadEmergence of a Personal History

The Alexiad, written in the twelfth century by a Byzantine princess, Anna Komnene, tells the story of the Byzantine Empire during the reign of her father, offering accounts of its political and military history, including its involvement with the First Crusade. This book introduces new methods of research for studying the Alexiad, aiming primarily at analysing Anna Komnene’s literary expression. The book’s

approach focuses mainly on the author, the subject, the structure and the inner stylistic features, as well as the genre itself. The result is a substantially new outlook on the main Byzantine historiographical work of the twelfth century.

Larisa Vilimonović is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Belgrade.

The Cistercian Reform and the Art of the Book in Twelfth-Century FranceCommunal singing and reading of Latin texts formed the core of Christian ritual and occupied hours of the Benedictine monk’s day. These monks also illustrated the texts, and the full meaning of these images is often only revealed when analysed in concert with the oral and written word that originally accompa-nied them. The earliest manuscripts of the Cîteaux, copied and illustrated during a period

of intense reform at the monastery, demon-strate the interdependence between art, liturgy, and reform.

Emergence of a Personal History

By Aleksandra Pfau

Medieval Communities and the MadNarratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France

In medieval France, the collaboration between local communities and greater authorities grants us unusual insight into the period’s concept of madness. The mentally ill posed a unique challenge to the law, and, by examining how subjects and off icials worked together to def ine and contain mad individuals, this book

analyses the development of that law and the interaction between local and regional communities. The author argues that this struggle often strengthened communities and proto-national identities.

Aleksandra Pfau is an associate professor of history at Hendrix College.

Contacts and Networks in the Baltic Sea RegionAustmarr as a Northern mare nostrum, ca. 500-1500 CE

Since prehistoric times, the Baltic Sea has acted as a crucial nexus that has shaped the languages, folklore, religions, literature, technology, and identities of the Germanic, Finnic, Sámi, Baltic, and Slavic peoples. This anthology f irst provides an in-depth introduc-tion to the networks among those peoples. The contributors analyse conceptions of geography, followed by explorations of intercultural transfers, such as the slave trade and rune

carving techniques. Finally, they turn their attention to mythology and ceremonialism.

Maths Bertell is a lecturer in religious studies at Mid-Sweden University. Frog is docent in folklore at the University of Helsinki. Kendra Willson is a senior researcher with the Turku Institute for Advanced studies.

By Daniel Wollenberg

Medieval Imagery in Today's PoliticsThough the "medieval" is often deployed as a stigmatic symbol of all that is retrograde, against modernity, and barbaric, the medieval is increasingly being sought as a bedrock of tradition, heritage, and identity, especially by writers and politicians on the far right. Both characterisations – the medieval as violent other and the medieval as vital foundation – are mined and studied in this book.

Daniel Wollenberg examines contemporary political uses of the Middle Ages to ask why the medieval continues to play such a prominent role in the political and historical imagination today.

"Medieval Imagery in Today's Politics does a very good job of introducing the reader, in an accessible way, to the (often troubling)

deployment of medievalism in modern political discourse."

— Matthew Gabriele, Virginia Tech

Daniel Wollenberg is an assistant professor of English at the University of Tampa, specialising in medieval literature and culture.

The Peace of GodThe Peace of God was one of the most important movements of the Middle Ages, yet is highly contested. It has been seen as both radically innovative and fundamen-tally traditional; as millenarian and not millenarian; as a popular movement and as a way of consolidating power for the elites. Geoffrey Koziol argues for the validity of all these differing viewpoints, because specif ic instantiations of the Peace of God varied greatly, and there were inherent contradic-tions in early ideas of peace and peace-making.

Geoffrey Koziol is professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of The Politics of Memory and Identity in Carolingian Royal Diplomas (2012) and other works on politics and ritual in late Carolingian and Capetian France.

By Ian Wood

The Transformation of the Roman WestThe Church was at the heart of the political and social, as well as the religious changes that look place in the Roman West from the fourth to seventh centuries. In this concise and effective synthesis, Ian Wood considers some ways in which religion and the Church can be reintegrated into what has become a largely secular discourse, and he contends that the institutionalisation of the Church on a huge scale was a key factor in the transformation from an incipiently Christian Roman Empire to a world of thoroughly Christianised kingdoms.

"Nobody writes with more assurance, clarity, and precision on the history and historiography

of the late Roman Empire and early Christian West than Ian Wood. This may prove to be the

most original and influential short book in that line of work since Montesquieu's of 1734."

— Mark Vessey, University of British Columbia

Ian Wood, emeritus professor (Leeds), has authored over 200 articles on the post-Roman West and the recent monograph: The Modern Origins of the Early Middle Ages.

Teaching Rape in the Medieval Literature Classroom

Approaches to Difficult Texts

Teachers of medieval literature help students bridge the temporal, contextual, and linguistic gulfs between the Middle Ages and the twenty-f irst century. When episodes involving rape are thrown into the mix, that task becomes even more diff icult. The essays in this volume approach these diff icult texts in ways that are both academically and ethically sound, recognising that students and teachers bring a variety of experiences to the classroom that necessarily colour the reception of a given work.

"This collection will contribute significantly to how we approach sensitive materials in the classroom. Gulley has assembled a dynamic mix of scholars and institutions - universities,

colleges (including a military school), and community colleges - that broaden the

academic audience and offer instructors of medieval literature a view of what it is like to

teach to differing constituencies under differing circumstances. On testing it in the classroom, I

found students were more aware of sexual assault and the challenges of interpersonal

relationships and responded to scenes of violation in ways I’ve not seen in prior years of

teaching." — Eve Salisbury, Western Michigan University

Alison Gulley is associate professor of English at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She is the author of The Displacement of the Body in Ælfric’s Virgin Martyr Lives.

Kurt BaschwitzA Pioneer of Communication Studies and Social Psychology

In this accessible, unique study of a forgotten but noteworthy f igure, the author tells the story of the life of Kurt Baschwitz (1886-1968), a scholar who f led from the Nazis. He wrote six books, never translated into English, on four related themes: the press, propaganda, politics, and persecution. Baschwitz independently developed concepts that are now seen as key to communication science and social psychology, and the author places Baschwitz’s ideas in the wider context of his dramatic life and times.

"This book presents the extraordinary life and scientific works of the brilliant European

scientist Kurt Baschwitz, a founding father of the study of mass psychology, collective behavior sociology and media studies in Europe. This book will eventually help to

rediscover the originality of the great contributions of this pioneering scholar.”

— Willem Koops, Utrecht University

Naturalistic inquiry is about studying people in everyday circumstances by ordinary means. It strives to blend in, to respect people in their daily lives, to take their actions and experiences seriously, and to build on these carefully. Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry offers guidance, combining thoughtful reflection with practical tips. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students in social science; for practitioners in social work, healthcare, policy advice, and organizational consultancy; and for all who have a genuine interest in society and its members.

Joost Beuving teaches anthropology at Radboud University Nijmegen. He has a special interest in everyday economic life. He has studied car dealers in the second-hand car trade between Europe and West Africa, and f ishermen in the Nile perch export business on Lake Victoria, East Africa. Geert de Vries teaches sociology at VU University Amsterdam and Amsterdam University College. He specializes in historical sociology. He has studied educational expansion, schools, the life-worlds of young-sters, and social problems and social change in the Netherlands.

‘One of the best methodological treatments in contemporary social science literature. It is the type of book that students will remember as the text that moved them to serious study. I am a flat out admirer of this book.’− Professor Michael Lewis, University of Massachusetts

Writing History! A Companion for Historians

Historians not only have knowledge of history, but by writing about it and engaging with other historians from the past and present, they make history themselves. This companion offers young historians clear guidelines for the different phases of historical research; how do you get a good historical question? How do you engage with the literature? How do you work with sources from the past, from archives to imagery and objects, art, or landscapes? What is the influence of digitalisation of the historical craft? Broad in scope, Writing History! also addresses

historians’ traditional support of policy makers and their activity in f ields of public history, such as museums, the media, and the leisure sector, and offers support for developing the necessary skills for this wide range of professions.

Jeanette Kamp is a PhD student at Leiden University. Sebas Rümke graduated with a research master in global history. Matthias van Rossum is a senior researcher at the International Institute for Social History. Susan Legêne is professor of political history at the VU.

Understanding CultureA Handbook for Students in the Humanities

This textbook provides an innovative introduction to the study of culture from an international perspective. It examines culture as a dynamic term with meanings that change through time, offering the f irst long-term analysis of the relationship between culture and nature. It discusses various theories of culture present in the disciplines of history, literature, art, and popular culture. Due to this breadth and coherence, the book can be f lexibly and relevantly applied across many topics and could be used in a wide range of courses.

“This much-needed and very welcome textbook excels at the challenging task of

conveying the intricacies of theory in a crisp and accessible manner to the reader.

Abundant in illuminating examples, it is a guide to culture in the best sense of the

world: it provides a lasting inspiration for reflection (well after it has been read).”

The Holocaust, Israel and 'the Jew'Histories of Antisemitism in Postwar Dutch Society

The f irst comprehensive study of Dutch postwar antisemitism, this book focuses on how, despite the Netherlands’ reputation for tolerance, stereotypes have endured and adapted across decades, as reflected in public debates, mass media, protests, commemorations, and

everyday interactions. The chapters cover a number of themes including soccer-related antisemitism, Jewish responses, philosemitism, contentious acts of remembrance, neo-Nazi traditions, “the Jew” in the politics of the right, and the current refugee crisis.

“[Gans] is known for her sharp analysis of the often subtle workings of antisemitism, and her

scientific legacy is renowned for being applicable to all aspects of racism and

discrimination that affects minority groups.”— Nieuw Israëlisch Weekblad

The Universe, Life and Everything... Dialogues on our Changing Understanding of Reality

Our current understanding of our world is nearly 350 years old. It stems from the ideas of Descartes and Newton and has brought us many great things, including modern science and increases in wealth, health and everyday living standards. Furthermore, it is so ingrained in our daily lives that we have forgotten it is a paradigm, not a fact. There are, however, some problems with it. First, there is no satisfactory explanation for why we have consciousness and experience meaning in our lives. Second, modern-day physics tells us that observations depend on characteristics of the observer at the large, cosmic, and small,

subatomic scales. Third, ongoing humanitarian and environmental crises show us that our world is vastly interconnected. Our under-standing of reality is expanding to incorporate these issues. In The Universe, Life and Every-thing . . . Dialogues on our Changing Under-standing of Reality, some of the scholars at the forefront of this change, from the f ields of physics, psychology, and social sciences, discuss the direction it is taking and its urgency.

Sarah Durston is professor of development disorders of the brain at the University Medical Center Utrecht, and was at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in 2016-17. Ton Baggerman is an economic psychologist and psychotherapist in Tilburg.

The Fonte Gaia from Renaissance to Modern Times

A History of Construction, Preservation, and Reconstruction in Siena

Chiara E. Scappini and David Boffa

For generations maps of the pilgrimage roads and of the reconquista have bedevilled the study of Spanish art and architecture. They have also infiltrated the popular imagination and come to dominate the ways we think about Spain and Portugal. Art in Spain and Portugal from the Romans to the Early Middle Ages: Routes and Myths sets out to diminish the power of these images and to enrich the wider English-language literature on early medieval art. Starting with the Romans and working through the vertical layers to the early Romanesque period Rose Walker draws together scholarly work hitherto confined within disciplinary boundaries, specialist regional studies, and findings familiar only to Spanish-speaking audiences. The author builds on these studies and her own research to present narratives that question art historical and archaeological orthodoxies. New perspectives emerge from the routes along which wealth and artistic expertise crossed the peninsula, showing the endurance of the north-south axis and the strength of networks and pragmatic alliances that often operated without regard for religious difference.

Rose Walker (PhD, University of London, 1995) is an Associate Scholar at The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. Her research focuses on Spanish medieval art.

Geschiedenis schrijven!

Writing History!Jeannette KampSusan LegêneMatthias van RossumSebas Rümke

Geschiedenis schrijven! Wegwijzer voor historici biedt (aankomende) historici heldere richtlijnen voor de verschillende fasen van historisch onderzoek. Hoe kom je tot een goede vraagstelling? Hoe ga je om met de bronnen van het verleden? Hoe baan je je een weg door de literatuur? De wegwijzer maakt de lezer vertrouwd met de invloed van de digitalisering op het historisch handwerk en toont de geldende standaards met betrekking tot een geschreven of gesproken historisch betoog. Geschiedenis schrijven! bepleit een brede blik op de bronnen van het verleden: van archiefstukken tot beeldmateriaal en voorwer-pen, kunst of het landschap. Vele historici zijn werkzaam in het onderwijs, waar geschiedenis een grote vormende waarde heeft. Hiernaast zijn zij van oudsher onder-steunend aan beleidsmakers, en wordt er op hen een beroep gedaan bij de vele vormen van publieksgeschiedenis, zoals in musea, de media, en de vrijetijdssector. Geschiedenis schrijven! biedt ondersteuning bij het ontwikkelen van de noodzakelijke vaardigheden voor deze waaier aan beroepen.

Naturalistic inquiry is about studying people in everyday circumstances by ordinary means. It strives to blend in, to respect people in their daily lives, to take their actions and experiences seriously, and to build on these carefully. Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry offers guidance, combining thoughtful reflection with practical tips. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students in social science; for practitioners in social work, healthcare, policy advice, and organizational consultancy; and for all who have a genuine interest in society and its members.

Joost Beuving teaches anthropology at Radboud University Nijmegen. He has a special interest in everyday economic life.

‘One of the best methodological treatments in contemporary social science literature. It is the type of book that students will remember as the text that moved them to serious study. I am a flat out admirer of this book.’− Professor Michael Lewis, University of Massachusetts

Dialogues on

our Changing

Understanding

of Reality

Sarah Durston and Ton Baggerman

Our current understanding of our world is nearly 350 years old. It stems from the ideas of Descartes and Newton and has brought us many great things, including modern science and increases in wealth, health and everyday living standards. Furthermore, it is so engrained in our daily lives that we have forgotten it is a paradigm, not fact. However, there are some problems with it: first, there is no satisfactory explanation for why we have consciousness and experience meaning in our lives. Second, modern-day physics tells us that observations depend on characteristics of the observer at the large, cosmic and small, subatomic scales. Third, the ongoing humanitarian and environmental crises show us that our world is vastly interconnected. Our understanding of reality is expanding to incorporate these issues. In The Universe, Life and Everything... Dialogues on our Changing Understanding of Reality, some of the scholars at the forefront of this change discuss the direction it is taking and its urgency.

Sarah Durston is Professor of Developmental Disorders of the Brain at the University Medical Centre Utrecht, and was at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in 2016/2017.

Ton Baggerman is an economic psychologist and psychotherapist in Tilburg.
