New multicultural identities in Europe
religion and ethnicity in secular societies
How to understand Europe's post-migrant Islam on the one hand and indigenous, anti-Islamic movements on the other? What impact will religion have on the European secular world and its regulation?

Through the lens of post-migrant societies, manifestations...

Vincent Icke Gravity does not exist
a puzzle for the 21st century
Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our...

Joop van Hezik Reconsidering Utopia
i have simply asked for permission
Joop van Hezik brings philosophy to life, in more ways than one. He shows that the ideology of `economic growth is the basis of our modern societies and economies, and even of our sustainable development policies. In this ideology people and nature seem to be merely instruments for economic growth. This results in destruction and the failure of sustainable development policies at all geographical levels. As Van Hezik clearly demonstrates, we need utopian thinking to reflect on the real values of...

Often no longer welcome in their former homes they were forced to leave behind, stripped of their belongings and dignity, they had to move on regardless. Their children suffered too, as there was always fear, anxiety and sadness about countless relatives that were killed during this unrivalled genocide. Simon Hammelburg compiled the accounts of...
