'The Praise of Folly', written in Latin in 1509 and spoken by the goddess Folly (who champions a lively enjoyment of life), was a bold satire on (in the cautious contemporary environment) not only Western classical traditions but also the Catholic Church. Dedicated to More himself, Erasmus wittily challenged entrenched views in so forthright (and humanist) a style that it could have brought him in direct conflict with the papacy. Fortunately the pope, Leo X, enjoyed the humour and the challenge!

By early 1943, it had become increasingly clear the Allies would win the Second World War. Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic thought the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. These Christian intellectuals - Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil, among others - sought both to articulate a sober and reflective critique of their own culture and to outline a plan for the moral and spiritual regeneration of their countries in the post-war world. 

Erasmus von Rotterdam war nicht nur Theologe, Philosoph, Philologe, Priester, Autor und Herausgeber von über 150 Büchern, sondern lebte als Kosmopolit in England, Italien, Frankreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz.

Matthias Ponnier liest aus dem bekanntesten Werk des großen Humanisten der Renaissance.

In "Praise of Folly", also translated as "The Praise of Folly", is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in June 1511. Inspired by previous works of the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions, other traditions of European society and on the Western Church. Erasmus revised and extended his work, which was originally written in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's house in Bucklersbury in the City of London.

Was für eine wunderbare Biographie! Und wie aktuell erscheint plötzlich das ferne 16. Jahrhundert! Nur die Gegenspieler haben gewechselt. Humanismus gegen religiösen Fanatismus. Nationaler Egoismus contra Weltbürgertum. Erasmus hat die EU und die Vereinten Nationen vorausgedacht und die christliche Reformation angestoßen, die dann von Luther, dem religiösen Fanatiker, usurpiert und zur Revolution missbraucht wurde. Erasmus, der Mann des Ausgleichs, hat sich immer wieder um die Versöhnung der Parteien bemüht. Voraussehbar vergeblich.

In the vast African savanna, Erasmus Joseph Lion is the king of predators—feared, powerful, and bound by the ancient law of survival: kill or be killed. But beneath his strength lies a restless soul questioning the endless cycle of violence. In a radical act of courage, Erasmus makes an impossible vow: he will never kill again. Joined by his loyal mate, Mary Sue, he leaves behind the only life he has ever known and begins a dangerous journey across the plains and jungles of Africa in search of peace and deeper understanding.

Desiderius Erasmus (ca. 1466 – 1536) dankt zijn roem vooral aan de "Lof der Zotheid", de satire waarin hij allerlei menselijke zotheden aan de kaak stelt. Zijn oeuvre omvat echter nog circa honderd andere geschriften. Daarin gaat het over taal en stijl, opvoeding en onderwijs, etiquette en ethiek, bijbel en kerk. Erasmus trad op als zelfbewust vernieuwer die zijn voorbeelden zocht in het verleden: de klassieke oudheid en het vroege christendom.

What does a meaningful life look like? For Erasmus Dale “Doc” Wineland, it looked like worn work boots, calloused hands, and a heart big enough to hold a whole community. Beyond the Barn is a moving, richly detailed biography of a man who was more than a veterinarian—he was a teacher, a beekeeper, a farmer, a fisherman, a husband, a father of ten, and a grandfather to generations. Known simply as “Doc” around Booneville, Arkansas, Erasmus Wineland spent his life in service to others, healing animals and guiding people with quiet wisdom and relentless dedication. Told through ...

Erasmus of Rotterdam is usually remembered as a gentle humanist, a champion of learning, moderation, and civilized reform. This book proposes a more unsettling and far more compelling portrait. A Spy of Rotterdam: Erasmus Between Wisdom and Folly presents Erasmus not as a harmless moralist or a failed revolutionary, but as a uniquely positioned observer who survived one of Europe’s most violent intellectual ruptures by mastering the art of influence without allegiance.
