Waarom we ons moeilijker kunnen concentreren, en wat doen we eraan?
De media hebben een grote invloed op onze kennis en onze standpunten, maar bepalen ze ook onze cognitieve vermogens? Nicolas Carr schreef in 2008 zijn spraakmakend artikel ‘Is Google making us stupid?’ met veel discussie tot gevolg. Twitter, Facebook, korte mediaberichten: ze leiden ons af en vereisen geen langdurige concentratie. Is het een kwestie van […]

De maffia van de literatuur loopt een marathon
Het postmodernisme kondigde de dood van de auteur aan, en zelf de dood van het onderwerp, maar na een tijdje blijkt ook dat voor problemen te zorgen.

What Is Learning? 12 Principles of Peer-Led, Connected, Interactive Education

Kunstfilosofie: hoe echte schoonheid zien en herkennen?
Hoewel Lucebert geen schoonheid meer ziet in een gruwelijke wereld (‘de mens is een broodkruimel op de rok van het universum’) kunnen we toch nog genieten van design, knappe foto’s of mooie juwelen.
