Het is inmiddels alweer 5,5 jaar geleden dat prof. Vermeersch is overleden.
Ik mis steeds vaker zijn kundige, doorwrochte en wijze essays over zaken waar onze huidige samenleving zoveel moeite mee heeft. Ik gedenk hem met grote bewondering en eerbied !

Beste Etienne. Rust vooral zacht. Heb u helaas nooit mogen ontmoeten. Ik ben dankbaar dat ik uw zienswijze en denkbeelden wel heb mogen leren kennen. Heeft mijn leven verbeterd. Zo dankbaar voor.

Hoewel ik triest moet vaststellen dat de herinnering aan uw persoon alsook uw inzichten en scepticisme aan het vervagen is bij het gros van de bevolking, stijgt de relevantie van de door U met ons gedeelde visie met betrekking tot de overbevolkingsproblematiek exponentieel. Mocht U, hoe puur paradoxaal dit ook moge klinken gezien uw helder atheïsme , toch met uw bewustzijn in een hiernamaals zijn terechtgekomen....de mensheid kan een wake-up call gebruiken in eender welke vorm dat U dit toepasselijk ziet. Ik blijf alvast kritisch en rationeel verder doen en dank U voor uw enorme bijdrage hieraan.

Ik zal mij prof. Vermeersch altijd herinneren als een van de grootste denkers van onze tijd. De inzichten die hij verschafte inzake godsdienst zullen mij altijd blijven intrigeren en verwonderen.

beste professor, jij kent mij niet maar ik kende en hoorde jou, alhoewel ikzelf niet alles begreep wat er uit jouw geest kwam verstond ik je wel, mochten er in deze wereld iets meer mensen rondlopen zoals jij dan stonden we met zijn allen al heel wat verder op deze planeet.

François Heremans
24 augustus 2022 - 12:26

Beste Professor, nog steeds denk ik aan Uw filosofische, morele en dikwijls onweerlegbare uitleg over wereldlijke en godsdienstige problemen. Meer inzicht in deze kan de mensheid alleen maar beter maken. Hartelijke dank !

Beste Etienne, We missen uw zeer wijze, heldere en gegronde kijk op de vele verschillende aspecten van onze maatschappij en vrees dat we nooit nog iemand gaan meemaken die zo een sterke en oprechte toelichting rond een maatschappelijk probleem kan geven. Uw heengaan is een enorm verlies voor onze maatschappij en kijk nog regelmatig, weliswaar met weemoed, naar de opnames van de debatten waarop u aanwezig was en uw onverbeterlijke inbreng kon geven. Bart Syroit

Erg bedroefd door zijn overlijden.
Kijk nog heel vaak terug naar video's van zijn lezingen en tv debatten. Wijze man waar ik tot op mijn laatste uur respect voor zal hebben. Zijn levensvisie loopt evenwijdig met de mijne. Bedankt Etienne voor al die mooie lezingen en debatten die ik zal blijven koesteren. Moge het je goed gaan hierboven 🍀

Nog steeds kijk en luister ik graag naar opnames met Etienne Vermeersch. Hij was echt vrij in zijn denken, oversteeg belangen en groeperingen. Een denkvermogen van een uitzonderlijk niveau. Ook vandaag nog een stem die we missen…
