Philosophy of … Philosophy and … Taking the conditions we find ourselves in seriously KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Starting from Peters' characterization of philosophy of education, the article elaborates the development offered by the Blackwell Guide (i.e. a field of study that involves a variety of approaches, including philosophical analysis with problems rooted in the use of language in educational discourse, addressing the assumptions and values embedded in other disciplinary approaches in the study of education, and exploring what education might be or ...
A kind of spiral thinking: Philosophy of education through the eyes of a fellow traveller KU Leuven
© 2014 SensePublishers-Rotterdam, The Netherlands. All rights reserved. My first exposition to philosophy of education goes back to my formation years, when I studied Educational Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium. I registered in 1972 for a two year B.A. (Educational Sciences) degree which offered a broad introduction (more than half of the subjects out of 26 were taught from other faculties).

'My kind of Catholic' ; on Taylor's contribution to philosophy of religion Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Many critics observe a methodological flaw in Taylor's work. They claim that there is an alleged discrepancy between Taylor's historical approach on the one hand and his defense of fullness in terms of openness to transcendence on the other. This article challenges this verdict by disambiguating the relation between the role of history in Taylor's narrative and his personal defense of fullness in terms of religious openness to agapeic ...
MIND THE GAP: THE POTENTIAL OF PROFESSIONAL YOUTH WORK FOR CIVIC EMPOWERMENT AND ENGAGEMENT OF YOUTH AT SOCIAL RISK Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Despite these efforts, there is a growing concern on the civic empowerment gap: the difference that can still be found across various domains of civic outcomes between disadvantaged groups and those from dominant and socio-economically advantaged backgrounds. From a democratic point of view, the ...
A twofold tale of one mind Universiteit Antwerpen
The Radical Enactive/Embodied view of Cognition, or REC, claims that all cognition is a matter of skilled performance. Yet REC also makes a distinction between basic and content-involving cognition, arguing that the development of basic to content-involving cognition involves a kink. It might seem that this distinction leads to problematic gaps in REC’s story. We address two such alleged gaps in this paper. First, we identify and reply to the ...
Don't mind the gap: sinology as an art of in-betweenness KU Leuven
© 2015 The Author(s) Philosophy Compass © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. (New) Sinology is like a Chinese ritual dance: the key is not the movement, but rather the positions (shi), the moments of non-action 'in between', that make rhythm and transformation possible. (New) Sinology itself occupies an in-between position in the landscape of academic disciplines, though it is not the only one to undertake this dance, as various disciplines engage ...
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind? An anthropological-ethical framework for understanding and dealing with sexuality in dementia care KU Leuven
Contemporary bioethics pays considerable attention to the ethical aspects of dementia care. However, ethical issues of sexuality especially as experienced by institutionalized persons with dementia are often overlooked. The relevant existing ethics literature generally applies an implicit philosophical anthropology that favors the principle of respect for autonomy and the concomitant notion of informed consent. In this article we will illustrate ...
