"De geschiedenis heeft ons geleerd dat we onze welvaart niet zeker zijn als we ons achter imponerende vestingmuren verschansen of alle burgers op één plek herbergen, maar wél als onze natie goed en wijs wordt bestuurd."

#Isocrates, Areopagiticus 13

“The noblest worship is to make yourself as good and as just as you can.”

Travelling to #UCLouvain for at a conference this week (Thu 15th to Fri 16th). "#Isocrates between #Plato and #Aristotle"

Haven't really been to #Belgium for far too long. Now I am thrilled to meet friends and new colleagues and discuss Isocrates' place in the #HistoryofPhilosophy.

And I'll have some #BelgianBeer, obviously.
