The World's Most Controversial Objects under Investigation
2022 || Paperback || Andrew Shortland e.a. || Leuven University Press
The art world is a multi-billion-dollar industry which captures world headlines on a regular basis, for both good and bad reasons. This book deals with one of the most-discussed areas of controversy: high-profile objects that have experts arguing about their veracity. Some may have been looted, others may be fakes, some may be heavily restored or misattributed. Often, in these cases, analytical science is called on to settle a dispute. The authors of this book have decades of experience in th...

2022 || Hardcover || Bram Demulder || Leuven University Press
Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-120 CE) is the most prolific and influential moral philosopher in the Platonic tradition. This book is a fundamental reappraisal of Plutarch’s ethical thought.

Homo Mimeticus
A New Theory of Imitation
2022 || Paperback || Nidesh Lawtoo || Leuven University Press
