As beautiful souls, sometimes, our lives can be blighted or blessed by situations or events. The moral in most of my stories is that "the music of life" will take on different themes, rhythms, and moods, however throughout the highs and the lows as individuals, we should carry on and learn from each and every experience. More importantly the key message is that "life" is like a "beautiful rose", but you must be strong when you find some thorns, because a "rose" always comes with thorns.

Why has gender inequality persisted for so long without revolutionary change? That's the central question Joan Wallach Scott poses in her 1998 collection of essays, Gender and the Politics of History. Scott notes that obvious economic, social, and class inequalities have produced large-scale social change, but uncovering the reality of gender inequality has not done the same.

In his 1966 book, The Night Battles, Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg detailed the lives of peasant people who were marginalized in their own society and have been all but forgotten in ours. He created a new school of study, microhistory, which has influenced thinkers from a range of different disciplines. The Night Battles looks at the witch trials of a small group of peasants in 16th-century Italy who believed they turned into animals at night to ward off evil spirits and safeguard their crops.

American sociologist Jack A. Goldstone examines the causes of revolutions and uprisings in the period between 1500 and 1800. Investigating cases in both Europe and Asia, the conclusions he reaches are surprising. Many thinkers had previously believed that Europe's distinctive history - and particularly the rise of capitalism - had created the specific revolutions and political changes that launched the continent on a path to global supremacy. Goldstone says this is wrong, and that European and Asian states were, in fact, all experiencing similar developments.

Before Bernard Bailyn published The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution in 1967, it was generally believed that the Revolution was driven both by social conflict between colonial settlers and the ruling British government, and by differences between classes in American society. Bailyn had a different view. He said that it was radical ideas that fired the American Revolution, and that the Revolution was above all else an ideological, constitutional, and political struggle.

Environmental factors shape our history just as much as - and sometimes more than - human factors. That's the premise of Alfred W. Crosby's 1972 work The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492, a key text in environmental history.

Étienne de la Boétie écrit le Discours sur la servitude volontaire en 1549 alors qu'il n'a que 18 ans. Si la question est politique, l'auteur ne se contente pas de critiquer les régimes tyranniques, il questionne aussi l'agent politique, celui qui est gouverné : comment peut-il se faire que...

Nineteenth-century American politician John C. Calhoun was unashamedly pro-slavery. So it may seem odd that A Disquisition on Government (1850), written in part to protect that practice, is so respected today. But South Carolina-born Calhoun was undoubtedly a great political thinker. Calhoun - who served his country as senator, vice president, secretary of war, and secretary of state - believed that "majority rule" inevitably led to abuse of power.

De la controverse entre Newton et Leibnitz à celle entre Bergson et Einstein, nombreux sont les grands esprits qui se sont attelés à définir la notion du temps...

"Que veut dire changer ?" : comment définir cette délicate limite entre rester soi et devenir autre ? À travers cette question préliminaire, Étienne Klein se penche sur le concept d'identité et d'invariabilité qui s'applique de la plus petite particule élémentaire à l'infini de l'univers, mais aussi à chaque personne humaine. Avec clarté et simplicité, il mène alors une réflexion à la croisée de la philosophie, de la physique et de la politique.

Texte majeur de la philosophie politique, le "Discours de la servitude volontaire" a fait de La Boétie un des précurseurs de la désobéissance civile. Il pose la question de la légitimité de l'autorité sur une population, pour devenir un véritable mode d'emploi pour ne pas être dupe du pouvoir : ce n'est pas en luttant contre la tyrannie qu'on peut l'abattre, mais en comprenant ses mécanismes pour ne plus en être dupe.

De meeste culturen en religies kennen een vorm van dodencultus en dodengeloof: gedragingen en denkbeelden rond de doden en de dood. Zoals bijvoorbeeld het achterlaten van voorwerpen en sieraden in een graf, angst voor de doden en bidden voor de ziel van de overledene. In bepaalde culturen is ook een echte vorm van onsterfelijkheidsgeloof ontstaan: de overtuiging dat de persoon na zijn dood verder leeft en in dat bestaan de gevolgen ondergaat van zijn daden in het vorige leven.

In zijn hoorcollege reconstrueert Etienne Vermeersch het leven van Jezus van Nazareth volgens een historisch-kritische methode. Deze bestaat uit een kritische analyse van de beschikbare bronnen en hun culturele en historische context om zo te beargumenteren wat historisch is en wat niet. Algemeen wordt aangenomen dat Jezus van Nazareth een Joodse profeet was die leefde van ca. 5 v.C. tot ca. 30 n.C. Vanaf ongeveer 28 n.C. trad hij in Galilea en Judea naar buiten als profeet. Op bevel van de Romeinse prefect Pontius Pilatus werd hij in 30 (of 33) n.C. door Romeinse soldaten gekruisigd. Echter, er bestaan geen strikt historische bronnen over Jezus.
