Ultraviolet telescopes are much like visible light telescopes, but X-ray telescopes must have special nested cylindrical mirrors to prevent Xrays...

  II. DISCUSSION — A — Esthétique et Philosophie. Il est bien vrai que toute philosophie est création d'une oeuvre et peut-être faut-il dire que dans cette création le philosophe cherche avant tout ce que Goethe appelle une délivrance.
