Over the past centuries the pendulum has constantly swung between an emphasis on the role of either nature or nurture in shaping human destiny, a pendulum often energised by ideological considerations. In recent decades the flourishing of developmental biology, genomics, epigenetics and our increased understanding of neuronal plasticity have all helped to subvert such dichotomous notions. Nevertheless, the media still report the discovery of a gene 'for' this or that behaviour, and the fie...

Atheists assert that the natural world has no meaning or purpose. Dr Denis Alexander, Emeritus Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St. Edmunds College, Cambridge, draws a different conclusion.Not only do recent evolutionary biological data appear inconsistent with the claim that the world is purposeless, but the Christian doctrine of creation has provided and continues to provide both context and stimulus for the study of the natural world...

Maladie effroyable et énigmatique, le cancer est très souvent perçu comme une calamité qui frappe au hasard, une adversité contre laquelle nous sommes impuissants. Ce sentiment d’impuissance n’a cependant pas sa raison d’être, car quantité d’études ont démontré qu’il existe un lien direct entre le tabagisme, le surpoids, la sédentarité, l’alimentation, l’exposition aux rayons ultraviolets, le manque de sommeil et la progression du cancer, et que la plupart des décès dus aux cancers actuels...

Richard Dawkins = Christian evangelist?Editors Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath gather other intelligent minds from around the world to share their startling commonality: Richard Dawkins and his fellow New Atheists were instrumental in their conversions to Christianity.Despite a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, all are united in the fact that they were first enthusiasts for the claims and writings of the New Atheists.

Ist Schauspielen eigentlich eine Kunst? Schauspieler(innen) sind die Fixpunkte der Aufmerksamkeit im Theater. Seit dreihundert Jahren nehmen Theoretiker die Herausforderung an, schauspielerisches Handeln zu definieren. In Schauspieltheorien wird danach gefragt, ob der Schauspieler sich selbst oder jemand anderes spielt, ob seine Gefühle echt oder nur vorgetäuscht sind, ob er seinen Körper kontrolliertund kühl einsetzt oder unbewußt und unter Feuer spielt. Über welche geistigen und körperli...
