'The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.'
— Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time, volume 5: The Prisoner.
Activiteiten
Mijn bijdragen op Wikipedia bestaan met name uit het schrijven en aanvullen van artikels met behulp van (recente) vakliteratuur. Die artikels maken voornamelijk deel uit van de onderzoeksgebieden premoderne geschiedenis (taal, religie, cultuur, wetenschap), filosofie, mythologie en literatuur, waarbij ik graag de marges opzoek en onderwerpen eruit pik die vaak onderbelicht blijven. Onderwerpen, waar niet altijd kant-en-klare en betrouwbare teksten over te vinden zijn op het internet. Daarbij staan voornamelijk Griekse filosofie en de geschiedenis van de premoderne westerse esoterie centraal, het grijze gebied tussen wetenschaps-, filosofie- en religiegeschiedenis.
