Occasionally, when I am tired and emotional, or consumed with self-dislike, I try to imagine myself as someone else, a wearer of Yarmouth shirts and fleecy sweats, of windbreakers and rugged Tyler shorts, of baseball caps with polo players where the section of the brain that concerns itself with aesthetics is supposed to be. But the hour passes. Good men return from fighting Satan in the wilderness the...

Rebecca Stott Darwin's ghosts
"Christmas, 1859. Just one month after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Darwin received a letter that deeply unsettled him. He had expected criticism. Letters were arriving every day like swarms, some expressing praise, most outrage and accusations of heresy. But the letter from the Reverend Powell was different. It accused Darwin of failing to acknowledge his predecessors, of having taken credit for a theory that had already been discovered by others, Baden Powell himself and Darwin's...

David Van Dusen The space of time
a sensualist interpretation of time in Augustine, Confessions X to XII
[Omslag] From the 13th century to the present day, Augustine's suggestion that time is a "dilation of the soul" (distentio animi) has been taken up as a seminal and controversial time-concept. In The Space of Time, David van Dusen argues that this "dilation" has been fundamentally misinterpreted. Time in the Confessions is not a dilation of the mind but of the senses - in beasts, as in humans. And Augustine's time-concept is not Platonic but, in schematic terms, Epicurean. Identifying new influences...
