De identiteit van Den Haag in woorden vangen - daar draait het om in dit boek. Nu valt er op het karakter van een mens al nauwelijks greep te krijgen, laat staan op zoiets dynamisch als een stad.

The pressing problems in their whole extent will only be fully understood and solved with comprehensive and patient analysis.

Frequently, current problems in the fields of economics, ecology, politics, philosophy and biology are discussed in a kind of "dialogue" with thinkers and poets like Bacon, Quesnay, Kant, Goethe and Novalis...
