The notion that a nation's instrumental music reflects the prosody of its language has long intrigued music scholars, especially those interested in "national character" in music.On no Western music has the influence of language been stronger" .

If reality does not operate like a clockwork but instead is complex and unpredictable, empirical inductivism cannot be the whole story of learning. Adapting to a turbulent world is not like figuring out how a clock works. It is like playing Meta-Chess. Unlike ordinary chess, when a player moves a piece, he changes not only the location of that piece, but also the rules that control how the pieces move!

Speaking about early christian historiography (It also works for Islamic I think) Collingwood wrote:It will set itself to detect an intelligible pattern in this general course of events, and in particular it will attach a central importance in this pattern to the historical life of Christ, which is clearly one of the chief preordained features of the pattern.It will make its narrative crystallize itself round..

M. #4: French is a Logical Language In 1647 the father of all French purist grammarians - Claude Favre de Vaugelas - referred to 'clarity of language the which property French possesses over all other languages in the world,' and he was swiftly followed by people who asserted things like) 'we [the French] in everything we say follow exactly the order of rational thought) which is the order of Nature.)

I have no words to say about this, both the performance and the piece. Adam Gyorgy playing Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.2

On the ground that metaphysics is not a branch of philosophy ( as history of philosophy shows us ) . Ayer said :

It is not fair to regard Berkeley as ametaphysician. For he did not, in fact, deny the reality of material things, as we are still too commonly told. What he denied was the adequacy of Locke's analysis of the notion of a material thing.

كيف لك تُقنع " أبو العربي " بحقوق الحيوان والنبات والتراب , وهو غير معترف أساساً بحقوق المرأة ؟؟!! , عقول زُرع منطق التسخير في تلافيفها وانطبعت به , بالنسبة لهم , كلشيء مسخر لخدمتهم, بما في ذلك الجهل !!!

هنا ينادي كروتشه بعدم حاجتنا الى النقد , إن كان النقد لتمييز الجميل من القبيح , فهذا شيئ بديهي في عمل الفنان , أي اقصاء كل ما هو قبيح عن العمل . من جهة أخرى إن كان النقد لتفسير العمل , فقد قام بما هو عكس ذلك . فالنقد ليس موجهاَ لإظهار عظمة العمل , بل لإظهار نفسه عظيما أمام العمل .

برأيي ,الكم الهائل من الكتب الذي وضع لتفسير هاملت جدير بأن يكون مثالا لما قاله كروتشه

لماذا ترجم العرب ( في بداية ترجمتهم ) الفلسفة الأغريقية , ولم يترجموا هوميروس والأدب الأغريقي بشكل عام بما في ذلك الأساطير ؟؟
