 Brakel
De geschiedenis van het oorspronkelijke kasteel Brakel gaat volgens overlevering terug tot het jaar 870 toen het tezamen met de kastelen Aalst en Poederoyen, door de heer van Heusden in het land van Altena, Boudewijn II, nadat de Vikingen hem van zijn bezittingen hadden verjaagd, werd gesticht..
De heerlijkheid Brakel kwam in 1780 voor de helft en in 1809 geheel in het bezit van de familie Van Dam van Brakel, het "Spijker", dat op enige afstand staat van de ruïne, werd in 1837 door Wilhelmus van Dam gekocht van de erven Van Everdingen.

 HYLE 7-2 (2001): Book Review: Jaap van Brakel, Philosophy of Chemistry. Between the Manifest and the Scientific Image
Van Brakel offers two historiographical theses to account for the way that philosophy of physics has been the dominant partner in the philosophical study of the exact sciences.
The author’s second approach to the natural kinds issue is built around the attempts by Putnam and Kripke to establish a version of the nominal essence/real essence distinction as a theory of the meaning of kind terms.
Van Brakel seems to favor the skeptical conclusion on this issue: namely, that there are no natural kinds.

 Van Brakel's Position is Perfectly Coherent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Fetzer's reasons for disputing van Brakel's (1992) position are based on misunderstanding of van Brakel's arguments.
Thus, in denying my position, van Brakel denies his own." This seems to be motivated by an ambiguity in the phrase "denies my position." If "denies Fetzer's position" means "denies that induction plays a role in [A]," then Fetzer is right to claim that denying his position would put van Brakel in a difficult spot.
Curiously, Fetzer offers, as counterexamples to van Brakel's claim, the example of the definition of a bachelor and the lighting of a match (in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions), both of which are ALLOWED by van Brakel.

 Van Brakel's Position is Perfectly CoherentVan Brakel's Position is Perfectly Coherent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In fact, given van Brakel's list of aspects of the frame problem (van Brakel, 1992, 1.4) and Fetzer's broad conception of induction, the dispute here seems to be one not about the nature of the frame problem, but about the extension of the phrase "problem of induction."
In Section 3 of Fetzer's commentary, he claims that van Brakel asserts "that it is impossible to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of an event of the definition of a concept."
Curiously, Fetzer offers, as counterexamples to van Brakel's claim, the example of the definition of a bachelor and the lighting of a match (in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions), both of which are ALLOWED by van Brakel.

 Psycoloquy 4(14): Van Brakel's Position Appears to be Incoherent
Van Brakel's stance is thus invalid on logical, semantical and empirical grounds.
Insofar as [B] and [C] are also "definitely" related to [A] by his own admission, all three dimensions of the frame problem van Brakel identifies are "definitely related to the problem of induction," which suggests that his position is not logically consistent.
Third, in 2.0 and thereafter, van Brakel insists that the frame problem is a special case of "the problem of complete description." In 6.1, he elaborates, with the admonition that it is impossible to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of an event or the definition of a concept.

Otl Aicher had asked FSB to give the community of Brakel, its employees and itself some lasting souvenir of their home environment, one that people would still like to pick up and browse through several generations later.
It was probably not so much the article itself, a psychoanalytical interpretation of the Brother Grimm fairy-tale "The Maid from Brakel”, but rather the author’s reputation as a dreaded church critic, that turned the entire FSB project into a scandal for the inhabitants of Brakel.
Other citizens of Brakel, such as a well-known bank manager, also expressed their profound displeasure.
