The sound of architecture
acoustic atmospheres in place
Acoustic atmospheres can be fleeting, elusive, or short-lived.

Andrew J. Shortland | P. Degryse When art isn't real
the world's most controversial objects under investigation

This obscure thing called transparency
politics and aesthetics of a contemporary metaphor

But what does this word actually stand for and what are the consequences for the life of individuals? Can knowledge from the arts, and its play of visibility and invisibility, tell us something about the paradoxical logics of transparency and mediation? This Obscure...

Victor M. Salas Immanent transcendence
Francisco Suárez’s doctrine of being
Long considered one of late scholasticism's most important thinkers, Francisco Suárez has, paradoxically enough, often been treated only in relation to other medieval authors or as a transitional figure in the shift from medieval to early modern philosophy. As such, his thought has often been obscured and framed in terms of an alien paradigm. This book seeks to correct such approaches and examines Suárez's metaphysical thinking as it stands on its own. Suárez is shown to be much more in line with...
