• Epicureanism and scientific debates

  antiquity and late reception

  Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically...

• Fabio Bolzonar Catholicism and the welfare state in secular France

  Even though the policy impact of Catholicism has increasingly been acknowledged, existing scholarship lacks a coherent view on its changing influence over time and in different political contexts. In this book, Fabio Bolzonar investigates the influence of Catholicism on developments in French social protection from World War II to the mid-2010s. He discusses the factors that have favoured or inhibited it and explores the hybridization between Catholic values and secular principles in the social engagement...

• Hugo Grotius Annals of the war in the Low Countries

  The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works. Grotius expresses a contrarian view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Grotius...

  The Jews believe that they will be spared suffering, pain and oppression because they have lived the norms and values through legislation that they have jointly drafted. Christians believe that they cannot be executed on Judgment Day because, on rather dubious reasoning, they crucified Jesus of Nazareth and made him pay the ultimate price, as it were, for the sins of subjects of Christian societies. The Muslims, with their different denominations, believe that salvation comes from the recognition...
