2023 || Paperback || Chiara Zampieri e.a. || Leuven University Press

“L’Étrurie est à la mode”, French archaeologist Salomon Reinach bluntly stated in 1927.

This volume deals with the impact of the constantly expanding knowledge on the Etruscans and their mysterious...

Exploring Heritages of International Solidarity

2024 || Paperback || Judith Gruber e.a. || Leuven University Press

On 24 March 1980, Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated while celebrating mass in San Salvador.

Moral Seascapes

On the Ethics and Aesthetics of Maritime Emergency

2024 || Paperback || Chiara Giubilaro e.a. || Leuven University Press

We are no strangers today to visual representations of human suffering at sea: the refugee crisis that continues to play out in the seascape between Europe and Africa (and not only there) yields an ever-growing archive of humanitarian tragedy. As both a visual backdrop and a lethal medium of unequal mobility, maritime space and landscape play a significant role in mediating the ethical demands of this crisis. Yet there has been little exploration of the longer history of morality’s role in ...

The United States of Belgium

The Story of the First Belgian Revolution

2018 || Paperback || Jane C. Judge || Leuven University Press

In 1790, between the birth of America (1776) and the creation of the French National Assembly (1789), nine provinces nestled between the French and Dutch borders declared themselves a new free and independent country: the United States of Belgium. Before then, the provinces had been part of the vast Austrian Habsburg Empire ruled by Joseph II. In 1789 revolutionaries from Brussels to Ghent to Namur recruited a grass-roots army that, to the surprise of many, successfully chased imperial forces...

The Figure of Knowledge

Conditioning Architectural Theory, 1960s - 1990s

2020 || Paperback || Sebastiaan Loosen e.a. || Leuven University Press

It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism.

Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of ...

Neo-Thomism in Action

Law and Society Reshaped by Neo-Scholastic Philosophy, 1880-1960

2021 || Paperback || Wim Decock e.a. || Leuven University Press

In his encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for Church doctrine and tradition. As a result, the neo-scholastic framework dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter.

This volume assesses the societal impact of the Thomist revival movement, with particular atten...

It proposes the concept of the hybrid practitioner, who bridges the gap between academia and practice by considering how different aspects of architectural practice, theory, and history intersect, opening up a fascinating array of p...

Pietro Pomponazzi and the Renaissance Theory of the Elements

A Study with Editions of Unpublished Texts

2024 || Hardcover || Luca Burzelli || Leuven University Press

In medieval and early modern natural philosophy, very few issues were as controversial as the nature of the elements. From the thirteenth up until the sixteenth century, European thinkers discussed this problem with growing interest. Defining the nature of the elements was key to deciphering the very structure of the universe and the essence of things. Along with five primary texts, here edited for the first time, this book discusses one of the most original contributions to this debate, that...
