Beyond Heaven and Earth
For the past few decades I have been working with a group of scholars in the study of religion who are trying to bring Donald Davidson’s philosophy, a form of pragmatism known as anomalous monism, to bear on religion. This book represents the culmination of my efforts in that direction. My central argument is that religious language is part of nature and to study it we need an approach t…

Analytics and Intuition in the Process of Selecting Talent
Abstract In management, decisions are expected to be based on rational analytics rather than intuition. But intuition, as a human evolutionary achievement, offers wisdom that, despite all the advances in rational analytics and AI, should be used constructively when recruiting and winning personnel.

Beyond Foucault: Excursions in Political Genealogy
In this article, I argue that we can best appreciate those works that appeal to the notion of “political genealogy” as distinct forms of study by situating them between moral enquiry and political theory. They draw from moral enquiry the concern with how we ought to live but are not themselves prescriptive.

Beyond Exceptionalism
It is too early to speak of a shared history – this was the conclusion offered by Kenyan writer Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor on October 9, 2020 at a conference on research into the history of German colonialism. The various experiences were so different, the wounds so deep, and the colonizers’ behavior so brutal, she said, that one could not yet speak of “our” shared past

Beyond Energy Efficiency in Architecture. New Challenges and Research Traject…
Visual comfort can affect building occupants’ behaviour, productivity and health. It is highly dependent on the occupant and how they perform a task indoors. In that regard, an occupant centred approach is more suitable for evaluating the lighting perception of the indoor environment. Nevertheless, the process of rating and estimating the visual comfort makes a limited distinction between…
