It was a time when moving just a few miles you could adopt a different personality and no one would know. I guess if I had the choice it would be something like popping up in one of the worlds in a Jules Verne novel, the short I read as a child, and setting out as an explorer. (less)

Learning to be choosy!

A good friend of my recently bought me a year’s subscription to the Literary Review. For anyone who does not know this magazine, it’s published monthly in English and contains a series of fairly detailed reviews of recently published books. There is a bit more to the magazine than that, but 90%+ is book reviews.

There seem to be no specific genres it focuses on. In my first month’s edition there a Read more of this blog post »

The Presocratic Philosophers by Jonathan Barnes
“analogies may be scientifically important; they may serve, psychologically, to illuminate a dry exposition or to dispel a puzzlement; and they may be useful, methodologically, in suggesting a synthesis or provoking a generalization. But they have no inferential status: argument 'from analogy' is one of the numerous species of bad argument. (pp 56)”
