Tedx talks Published on Dec 5, 2012

Dimitri Goossens is a historian and philosopher. He has been a teacher at a secondary school since 1997. First, he has been attached as a teacher in history, aesthetics, art history, sociology, media and philosophy to the Royal Atheneum of Schaarbeek (Brussels). Now, he works at the College of Essen.
He is preparing for his PhD in art philosophy at the Free University of Brussels under the supervision of Em. Prof. Dr. A. Van den Braembussche and Prof. Dr. D. Lesage about the possibility of a sacred experience in shocking art and images of death and its representations of the body. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

.. i think Dimitri, in a sense, anyway, is touching on the 'bring God back to where he was born' idea, back into the essence of our humanity .. that goes for the devil, too ..
