Woorden als daden

Henk Oosterling

This book, Woorden als daden (Words as acts), is a political-philosophical reflection on the essence of a community. It discusses the practice of accepting and handing out responsibility in a profoundly individualist world, and comprises a rich source of inspiration for policy makers, CEO's, and professionals.

About the author: Dr. Henk Oosterling studied philosophy, linguistics and Japanese language at the University of Leiden and Erasmus University Rotterdam and now teaches dialectical method, contemporary French philosophy and aesthetics.

Oosterling plays an important role in the society of Rotterdam, and he has initiated many cultural and societal activities. For the Rotterdam city council, he functions as strategic consultant for urban innovation projects. A recent initiative called 'SkillCity' consists of a research model for urban revitalisation and renovation, focused on the specific social-cultural and socio-economic situation of Rotterdam.
