onderwerpen die zich moeilijk in \u00e9\u00e9n vakgebied laten opsluiten. Filosofie, kunst, mythologie, psychologie en wetenschap lopen hier geregeld door elkaar heen \u2014 niet omdat ze hetzelfde zeggen, maar omdat juist op de raakvlakken vaak nieuwe vragen ontstaan. Waar een verstandiger mens zo\u2019n vraag misschien even laat liggen, heb ik de neiging er nog drie boeken, een schilderij en bij voorkeur een Griekse tragedie bij te halen. <br>Soms begint een stuk bij een denker als Nietzsche, Jung, Kierkegaard of Camus. Soms bij een schilderij van Magritte, Bosch, Munch, Van Gogh of Dal\u00ed. Een andere keer bij een oud verhaal over Sisyphus, Icarus of de Ouroboros, of bij een wetenschappelijke vraag over tijd, toeval, bewustzijn, kosmologie of kwantummechanica die mijn nieuwsgierigheid net iets langer vasthoudt dan praktisch verstandig is. Sommige idee\u00ebn blijken na duizenden jaren nog springlevend; andere overleven hier voornamelijk omdat ik kennelijk weiger ze fatsoenlijk te begraven.<br>Ik probeer hier niet op ieder terrein het laatste woord te hebben. Dat zou zowel ambitieus als tamelijk zorgwekkend zijn. Veel interessanter vind ik waarom bepaalde idee\u00ebn, beelden en verhalen blijven haken, wat ze misschien vertellen over de manier waarop mensen zichzelf en de wereld proberen te begrijpen, en waarom sommige vragen alleen maar groter lijken te worden naarmate je langer naar een antwoord zoekt. Mijn ervaring is inmiddels dat diep nadenken verrassend vaak eindigt met de ontdekking dat je vooral beter begrijpt hoeveel je niet begrijpt. Erg effici\u00ebnt is het allemaal niet.<br>Af en toe verschijnt hier ook iets korters: een observatie, een gedachte na een boek of tentoonstelling, een vreemd verband dat nog nergens heen hoeft. Sommige stukken beginnen achter een schrijftafel, andere tijdens een wandeling en weer andere in de licht hallucinante nasleep van een esketaminebehandeling, wanneer mijn brein tijdelijk in een staat van spirituele ontbinding verkeert en de normale kantooruren voor de werkelijkheid zijn opgeheven. Niet alles wat daar langskomt verdient publicatie \u2014 sommige gedachten mogen uit menslievendheid gewoon weer verdwijnen \u2014 maar af en toe blijft er iets hangen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verdwalen in idee\u00ebn Op deze pagina komen essays die zich bewegen op het snijvlak van filosofie, psychologie, kunst, mythologie en wetenschap.
