Grahame Lock Political philosophy

This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order.

One aim will be to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various regimes and philosophical...

Allan Pinkerton The Expressman and the Detective

Oscar Wilde De Profundis
"But it is a very unimaginative nature that only cares for people on their pedestals. A pedestal may be a very unreal thing. A pillory is a terrific reality." Thus wrote Oscar Wilde in a farewell letter to his lover Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) in 1897 while serving a two-year sentence for "gross indecency with other male persons". In it, he sorts out his life and his love for Bosie, who, he feels, abandoned him to his fate. It is an intensely personal letter that follows the stages of grief and interlaces...

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...

Harry Woldendorp The transformation of elderly care
the impact of digitalization

Human-AI Translators e-book; Artificial Intelligence Demystified
Anyone who thinks artificial intelligence (AI) doesn’t really concern us yet is wrong. AI is no longer a matter for futuristic science fiction films or hip technology fairs. It is now everywhere in your life. That personalised advertising folder from the supermarket with offers “especially for you”? AI. The songs suggested for you on Spotify? AI. The self-regulating traffic lights on the corner of your street? AI. It is undeniable that AI is entering our lives at a dizzying speed. It is now part...
