Woher wissen wir, dass etwas unmöglich ist? Einer der zentralen Denkfehler. Thomas Nagels Aufsatz „Wie ist es, eine Fledermaus zu sein?" (1974) wurde zu einem der grundlegenden Texte in der Philosophie des Geistes. Er wird hier nicht als Gegenstand der Kritik herangezogen, sondern als Beispiel für eine Situation, in der eine Behauptung prinzipieller Unmöglichkeit einer sorgfältigeren Begründung bedarf, als gewöhnlich...

Where?’ ‘The tea party, of...

O futebol está doente E a cura são mais gols. As linhas de impedimento modernas estão muito mais eficazes. Estão posicionadas o mais próximo possível do meio-campo, mas não tão longe do próprio gol que o zagueiro não possa alcançar uma bola lançada em profundidade a um atacante. Isto é mérito tanto da preparação física que tornou os zagueiros tão velozes quanto os atacantes, quanto da evolução técnica, que otimizou este...

Byzantine chronicles Written by Sogand Shakouri Byzantine chronicles were never just records of what happened. They were acts of memory-keeping, written by monks and court officials who understood that history itself needed a witness. Think of works like the Chronicle of Theophanes, or the earlier Chronicon Paschale. These annals moved year by year, often starting from Creation itself, weaving together emperors, earthquakes,...
