Dit boek schetst het unieke parcours van de westerse rationaliteit. Waarom heeft het zich hier kunnen voordoen en waarom niet eerder of later in andere, soms verder ontwikkelde culturen? Hoe kon het gebeuren dat ruim zesentwintig eeuwen geleden in Griekenland, in een tijdspanne van nauwelijks honderd jaar en in een gemeenschap van slechts enkele duizenden zielen, zowel de dialectische filosofie, de formele logica als de deductieve wiskunde werden geboren? Bovendien gebeurde dit zonder ambitie op enig praktisch nut maar louter voor het intellectuele genoegen van het inzicht. Gedurende meer dan twee millennia zal dit esoterische gedachtegoed, met zijn dualistische opdeling van het bestaan in een minderwaardige zintuiglijke wereld en de verheven oorden van de geest, bewaard blijven in een aangepaste of geïntegreerde versie. Om dan, door allerlei omstandigheden plots bevrijd van het metafysische en dogmatische kader, door de combinatie van waarnemen en denken, van inductie en deductie, een vruchtbare wetenschappelijke methode te ontwikkelen, die in nauwelijks drie eeuwen de beschaving drastisch zou veranderen, om ten slotte uit te monden in de schokgolven van de industrialisatie en de informatica. Een fascinerende geschiedenis met kritische contingente momenten die ook een ander verloop had kunnen kennen. Dit verhaal gaat dus over de precaire samenhang van geschiedenis, filosofie en wetenschap en de impact ervan op onze huidige samenleving. Indien het zo is dat kennis ingebed is in een maatschappij en indien het zo is dat maatschappijen in hun ontwikkeling niet door ‘zuivere’ wetmatigheden gedicteerd worden, dan is het duidelijk dat contingentie een sleutelbegrip wordt: het is zo gegaan maar het had evengoed iets helemaal anders kunnen zijn. “Wat zou er gebeurd zijn indien …?” is de kenmerkende vraag in dit verband. (Uit het voorwoord van Jean Paul van Bendegem)

De mensheid is slimmer dan ooit, maar lijkt zich tegelijkertijd te verliezen in nepnieuws en complottheorieën. Steven Pinker legt uit wat rationeel denken is en waarom we het nu zo hard nodig In ‘Rationaliteit’ legt Steven Pinker de belangrijkste instrumenten voor rationeel denken uit, leidt de lezer door de basisprincipes van logica, kritisch denken, waarschijnlijkheid, correlatie en causaliteit, en helpt ons om alleen en met anderen rationele keuzes te maken. Redelijkheid is de belangrijkste troef waarover burgers en bestuurders beschikken. Het onderwerp kan bijna niet actueler. Hoe is het mogelijk dat de menselijke soort de grootste wetenschappelijke inzichten heeft verworven en tevens almaar meer nepnieuws, complottheorieën als QAnon en post-truth-retoriek produceert? In de eenentwintigste eeuw bereikt de mensheid nieuwe hoogten van wetenschappelijk inzicht – en lijkt tegelijkertijd haar verstand te verliezen. Na Verlichting nu, waarin Steven Pinker de menselijke vooruitgang bezong, laat hij nu zien hoe we rationaliteit in ons leven en in de publieke sfeer kunnen versterken.

“A timeless novel about love, loss and village life” from the award-winning Dutch author of The Misfortunates and Problemski Hotel (Aesthetica). Years ago, Madame Verona and her husband built a home for themselves on a hill in a forest above a small village. There they lived in isolation, practicing their music, and chopping wood to see them through the cold winters. When Mr. Verona died, the locals might have expected that the legendary beauty would return to the village, but Madame Verona had enough wood to keep her warm during the years it would take to make a cello—the instrument her husband loved—and in the meantime she had her dogs for company. And then one cold February morning, when the last log has burned, Madame Verona sets off down the village path, with her cello and her memories, knowing that she will have no strength to climb the hill again. Poignant, precise and perfectly structured, this is a story of one woman’s tender and enduring love—as a wife, and as a widow. “An intimate, unsentimental portrayal of European rural life . . . In Verhulst’s landscape, nature is ruthless, amoral and never benign, and human memory a cruel mirage . . . His best sentences are gorgeously resonant.”—The Herald “Aging, bereavement and death are somber themes, yet this novel’s treatment of them is agreeably entertaining . . . this tale of enduring love is often preposterous, sometimes poignant and, above all, consistently charming.”—The Independent
