As it stands, the argument is laden with Aristotelian terminology, and does not prove that the apeiron is qualitatively indefinite, only that it is different from the four Aristotelian elements.

Up to now, he claims, the philosophy of mathematics has lacked a...

• Bloch, Ernst Simon

  with a non-positivist empiricism, which he terms 'process empiricism' . It is thus to be distinguished from a determinist teleology, which, following the analogy of the acorn and the oak, envisages humanity in terms of a fixed, inevitable future growing out of iron historical trends. A fundamental way in which Bloch conceptualizes the dynamic tension at work within matter is by building up composite concepts around the category of 'not' . 'Not' is meant to register the absent and unfinished...

• Bataille, Georges

  death, research into this kind of transcendence is both dangerous and difficult to replicate. It was these dangers, at least in part, which led Bataille to develop alternative accounts of the move towards the Sacred. What remains constant, however, is the important place he gave to the notion of death. Later, Bataille developed the important systematic notion of general economy with its emphasis on expenditure . Focusing on surplus and expenditure as the primary notions of economics (rather...

Strong emotion (as every actor and dramatist Jmows) is in the highest degree contagious.

And these orgies were so enjoyable that most of those who bad experienced them eagerly came...

  whether his depiction of animal predators is correct. Do they really pursue individual interests to the total exclusion of group conventions? And if such apparent 'conventions' are simply a manifestation of their 'nature' , does this not dissolve the antithesis on which Callicles relies? It is also unclear whether human aggression is as natural as Callicles claims (he implies that everyone would imitate the superman if they could). Some would argue that, although we all possess egoistic driv...

• Cassirer, Ernst

  particulars, unlike a substance, has no reality or meaning independent of the elements it orders, and these elements have meaning only in terms of the positions they each occupy in the series. Cassirer formulated this indissoluble bond between universal and particular of the functional concept as F (a, b, c, …). It suggested to him a model for how the mind forms experience in all spheres of human activity, cognitive and noncognitive. The historical source for this insight is Kant 's idea of th...

The twenty years between the completion of Dialoghi d'amore and Leone's death suggests that he had ample time to complete the work had he considered it either possible or necessary.

Rather than freeing some or even all people in a society to devote themselves to a higher cause, secular communism is designed to allow everyone to pursue personal fulfilment.

In other words, each pers...
