Natural Spectaculars
aspects of plutarch’s philosophy of nature
2015 || Hardcover || Michiel Meeusen e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
The value of Plutarch's perception of physical reality and his attitude towards the natural spectacle.
Plutarch was very interested in the natural world around him, not only in terms of its elementary composition and physical processes, but also with respect to its providential ordering and 'wonders'. His writings teach us a lot about his perception of physical reality and about his attitude to the natural spectacle. He found his greatest inspiration in the ontological and epistemological fr...

The Neo-Latin Epigram
a Learned and Witty Genre
2011 || Paperback || Susanna De Beer e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
The epigram is certainly one of the most intriguing, while at the same time most elusive, genres of Neo-Latin literature. From the end of the fifteenth century, almost every humanist writer who regarded himself a true poeta had composed a respectable number of epigrams. Given our sense of poetical aesthetics, be it idealistic, post-idealistic, modern or post-modern, the epigrammatic genre is difficult to understand. Because of its close ties with the historical and social context, it does...

an interpretation with commentary
2011 || Hardcover || G. Roskam || Universitaire Pers Leuven

Platos ideal of the philosopher-king is well-known, but was precisely his failure to realise his political ideal in Syracuse not the best argument against the philosophers political engagement? Nevertheless, Platos ideal remained attractive for later Greek thinkers. This is illustrated, for instance, by one of Plutarch...

Spatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces
Colonial Borders in French and Francophone Literature and Film
Paperback || Mohit Chandna || Leuven University Press
Colonialism advanced its project of territorial expansion by changing the very meaning of borders and space. The colonial project scripted a unipolar spatial discourse that saw the colonies as an extension of European borders. In his monograph, Mohit Chandna engages with narrations of spatial conflicts in French and Francophone literature and film from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. In literary works by Jules Verne, Ananda Devi, and Patrick Chamoiseau, and film by Michael H...
