The Tragedy of Almightiness
The Tragedy of Almightiness encircles the theme of human yearning for omnipotence, as expressed in religion and various ideologies. The central question revolves around the matter of what--in pursuing such an extreme power of the will--man seeks to achieve. While exploring the question, a thought-provoking link is made between religion and atheism; between the Biblical longing for God's promise and the Marxist appeal for man to realize that same promise. Omnipotence must vouch for the fulfilling of the promise, for justice and for man's dream of redemption.However that is not where it ends. The longing for salvation turns out to have a dangerous reverse side to it because it encourages a turning away from the actual world and the all-pervading evil. Omnipotence also facilitates the avenging of such evil. History has shown what this kind of yearning can lead to. The book demonstrates how modernity translates Biblical longings into ideologically justified revengefulness. The description of this process leads to a plea for renewed ethical purpose in life. It is a challenge that also extends to religion. Hence the reason that it is necessary to depart from the idea of omnipotence.""This book convincingly shows how threatening the faith in and pursuit of omnipotence is. Obsession with power threatens the moral structure of society and the constitutional state. The author, as a philosopher, expresses an issue that politicians should also take notice of. Power remains a dangerous political temptation.""--Ankie Broekers-Knol, Chair of the Dutch Senate""This is a challenging book about a topic from which the former communist world has heavily suffered: omnipotence. The author gives a penetrating analysis of the concept of omnipotence. In it he incorporates his personal experience with communism. The book contains a surprising connection between the theological and philosophical roots of the concept of omnipotence. It clarifies how these ideas were the basis for an abhorrent political translation. This book should be read.""--Ladislav Hejdanek, Professor of Philosophy, Charles University, PragueSybe Schaap (Lemmer, The Netherlands, 1946) gained his doctorate in philosophy from the Free University of Amsterdam, after which he lectured at the Charles University in Prague.

Veilige evenementen
ontwikkelingen, risico's en maatregelenEr vinden in Nederland ieder jaar veel grootschalige evenementen plaats. Het waarborgen van de veiligheid op en rond deze evenementen is belangrijk, maar niet gemakkelijk. Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van organisatoren, gemeenten en hulpdiensten. Zij wisselen echter nog te weinig kennis en expertise uit om evenementen veilig te laten verlopen.In Veilige evenementen wordt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken gekeken naar evenementen en veiligheid: vanuit de sociale wetenschap, vanuit de wet- en regelgeving en vanuit het perspectief van gemeente en politie. Er wordt aandacht besteed aan de factoren die bepalend zijn voor daadwerkelijke veiligheidsrisico's bij evenementen, bijvoorbeeld of een evenement eenmalig of terugkerend is en of het spontaan wordt georganiseerd of niet. De belangrijkste risico's en hun implicaties worden behandeld. Op basis van een goed inzicht in de veiligheidsrisico's kunnen de benodigde maatregelen worden bepaald.Aan de hand van praktijkvoorbeelden van grote evenementen in Nederland en het buitenland biedt dit boek handvatten voor het omgaan met veiligheidsrisico's en voor het bepalen van maatregelen. Het boek is van belang voor iedereen die professioneel bezig is met evenementen, maar kan ook worden gebruikt als les- en leerstof.
