Did Thomas Kuhn Kill Truth?
【这个题图怎么那么迷幻
电影制作人和作家Morris记录在一次会议上,Kurt砸了他一个烟灰缸。由此引发了人们对于Kurt究竟是一个怎么样的人的讨论:到底是像他子女说的一样热烈但是文雅,还是在烟灰缸事件中体现出来的那样暴力?是不是有人说了谎?或是说有两个Kurt?
A debate on the nature of truth turns into a squabble over whether the father of the “paradigm shift” threw an ashtray at Errol Morris’s head.
这句引言笑死我了
讲述完整个事情之后,有大段文字在写Kantian和Kuhn的理论的不同……穿插Morris的评论……但是我看不太懂这一部分的哲学分析()
具体没怎么看懂,大概是讲了Kuhn的观点,然后说Kuhn的观点确实还有很多的争议但是不足以作为怀疑他人品的理由(?)
摘一段可能看得懂的
In Kuhn’s view, reality is out there, but it doesn’t speak our language. It remains forever alien, non-linguistic, regardless of how well we seem to describe its various parts.
最后作者对Morris这个diss Kuhn的行为的评价。
But those of us who look again may notice that Morris has been punching the wrong Kuhn, while the real one sits outside the ring, untouched. Like his imaginary Kuhn, Morris wins the fight for truth only by getting the last word.
Our age of horror
啊这篇应该算是冷静的分析了一下恐怖。但是我没怎么看懂……就看懂了一些细枝末节的故事(捂脸)
分享鬼故事
My earliest horror memory is Stay Out of the Basement (1992), one of R L Stine’s Goosebumps series of young adult novels. In the story, a botanist accidently creates a hybrid plant clone of himself. When the clone comes to life, he tries to steal his humanoid self’s life. The botanist’s children unmask the imposter, and in a mess of green blood and plant mush, the clone is felled with an axe. The rescued father disposes of the rest of the mutating plant matter, and the family is all set to live happily ever after. But at the very end, the daughter is standing in the garden and feels a small plant nudging her ankle. The plant whispers to her: ‘Please – help me. I’m your father.’ Stay Out of the Basement is no masterpiece, but I was young, and it struck me cold.
以及预防指南?
In general terms, the best way to survive a horror setting is to be supremely, boringly sensible: don’t talk to strangers, don’t stay the night in a foreign town, don’t go to the aid of anyone who looks sick, don’t go into that crumbling old building. If a very attractive stranger tries to seduce you, it is almost definitely a trap. Respect tradition, do not commit sacrilege, listen to the advice of elderly locals.
顺便喜欢这个迷之有意思的结尾
With thanks to all the horror authors, editors, screenwriters, directors and critics who generously gave me their time to explore horror: Nick Antosca, Stephen T Asma, ……
还有很多自己去文中看看吧!想看恐怖故事的可以码着()
Eating bitterness
这篇介绍的是李小龙。想起了小时候看的李小龙传奇!
小时候是个熊孩子,到被退学的那种。后来在转学之后不得不洗餐盘为生。也就是这样的经历让他成熟了起来。这也就是这篇的题目的来源!
The acrobatics of kung fu films starring Jackie Chan or Jet Li – where the star fully extends his legs astride two tables, or flicks his opponent’s fists away dispassionately, are extraordinary; but Lee could persuade the viewer that he was in a fight to the death.
Born in the US and raised in a British colony, Bruce Lee may have been the first global icon to wear his “Made in China” label as a mark of quality.
