• Change

  shape of a thing does not count as intrinsic on the above criterion since having shape is, arguably, not logically independent of the existence of the containing space. An alternative means of strengthening the Cambridge criterion employs the notion of causality.

This is not true of, for example, becoming an aunt or becoming famous - the effects of such 'changes' need not be near the obje...

It's like a stoned, slapstick 1984 ; a nightmare comedy in which the comedy is just an aspect of the nightmarishness. The title refers to pop escapism of the past—what you can only...
