Reading by Osmosis. Nature Interprets Us toont kunstwerken die niet door mensenhanden zijn gemaakt: een overwoekerd hek, een onderwatervideo, een gehavende discobal. De makers?

These questions take us into the world of political framing, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent times and forms the...

This is a book about man and his world.

His natural world, his social world, his inner world.

Weaving together psychoanalysis with ecology, anthropology, religion and sociology, I try to advocate a state of freedom and magic as a way for the human race to thrive on Earth.

I do not like our artificial ways of surviving, that have us blindly depending upon fear and the need for survival.
