    A Cape of Asia (2021)
    Leiden University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: A Cape of Asia collects eighteen of Wesseling’s finest essays on European History, clustered around three concerns: The Wider View, or the historical European perspective on globalization, migration and decolonization; Europe’s Identity, reflecting the shift from Eurocentrism to Americanization and Europe’s acceptance of Japan, China and India as new key players in the global economy; and European Ideas about Education, Science, and Art. The third section includes the articles ‘Johan Huizinga and the Spirit of the Nineteen Thirties’ and ‘The Expansion of Europe and the Development of Science and Technology’. A small cape of Asia was how Paul Valéry described Europe in 1919 – a pointed summary of the new mood that came over Europe in the interbellum years. Wesseling’s essays hold to the original sense of the word: personal reflections on vast subjects written for an intellectual and interested but not necessarily specialized readership.

    Legaliteit en legitimiteit (2021)
    Leiden University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: "Legaliteit en legitimiteit" takes one of the central problems of law and jurisprudence as its point of departure: what is the law? Adopting an intermediate position between legal positivism and natural law, this book reflects on the concept of ‘liberal democracy’ or ‘constitutional democracy’. In five chapters the book analyses: (i) the idea of higher law, (ii) liberal democracy as a legitimate model for the state, (iii) the separation of church and state or secularism as essential for the democratic state, (iv) the universality of higher law principles, (v) the history of modern political thought. This interdisciplinary approach to jurisprudence is relevant for legal scholars, philosophers, political theorists, public intellectuals, historians, and politicians.

    Friends, Acquaintances, Pupils and Patrons (2021)
    Leiden University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This study of the social circumstances of Japanese intellectuals in the last quarter of the eighteenth century is based on biographical data concerning 173 individuals. It deals with the image of intellectual life of that period in current scholarship, and with the self-image and ethos of scholars, authors, poets and artists. That self-image and ethos, however, often clash with the realities of their everyday lives. This prosopographical investigation offers a new look at intellectual life on a basic level. The current image of intellectual life in the Tokugawa period is one of dissatisfaction and withdrawal, whereas the image that results from this study is one of dynamism and interaction.

    Description: Dit onderzoek naar de sociale omstandigheden van Japanse intellectuelen in het laatste kwart van de achttiende eeuw is gebaseerd op biografische gegevens van 173 personen. Het onderzoek behandelt het beeld van het intellectuele leven van die periode zoals dat vorm heeft gekregen in het werk van moderne Japanologen, maar beziet tevens zelfbeeld en ethos van de betreffende geleerden, schrijvers, dichters en kunstenaars. Zelfbeeld en ethos blijken dan vaak te botsen met de alledaagse realiteit van hun bestaan. Uitgaande van die alledaagse realiteit komt deze prosopografische benadering tot een nieuwe kijk op het intellectuele leven. Het huidige beeld van het intellectuele klimaat van de Tokugawa periode laat voornamelijk ontevredenheid en Weltflucht/ zien. Deze dissertatie echter toont een cultuur van dynamiek en interactie.

    Stemmen op berkenbast (2021)
    Leiden University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Stemmen op berkenbast offers a compilation of personal letters written on birchbarck. It is an introduction to medieval communication in Russian Novgorod.
    Description: Schrijven op berkenbast speelde in de middeleeuwen een wezenlijke rol in de communicatie en sociale organisatie van verschillende Russische steden, met name de stad Novgorod, gelegen ten zuiden van het huidige Sint-Petersburg. Dit boek laat aan de hand van een selectie van overgeleverde berkenbastbrieven zien hoezeer de schrijftraditie geïntegreerd was in het dagelijks leven. De korte mededelingen doen ons vaak denken aan hedendaagse e-mails of sms'jes. Ze waren bedoeld voor alledaagse communicatie over geld en macht, afspraken en conflicten, management en huishouden, ellende en liefde.
