Bart Nooteboom read mathematics and economics, and had a promotion in econometrics. He read philosophy since he was thirteen, and started writing it when he retired.

In this book he gives a survey of ‘continental’ philosophy, which is often contrasted with ‘analytic’ philosophy in the UK and US. Especially 20th century French philosophy created an upheaval, and evokes fundamental questions. This book sets out how a dynamic perspective, of existence as a process, can bring coherence. F...

Food and ammunition were scarce and an attempt to break through from the South failed. The German troops were left with an air bridge. The daily air transport flew on ...

The gap between high and low educated has a long history, since the Re-naissance in the 16th century, and she still grows. She creates discrimination and prejudice, and is accompanied by a gap in income.

In the 20th century there appeared to be a rebirth of humanism, in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, but that faded away when the ‘babyboomers’ joined the game of the established order.
