Ich war in Venedig über das Wochenende und habe ein paar der Fotos, die ich gemacht habe, auf meine deviantART-Page geladen. Leider war ich zu faul, um den Bildern originelle Namen zu geben. Die neuen Fotos starte mit diesem.

The Photographer of Venice

I was in Venice over the weekend and uploaded some of the pictures I took to my deviantART page. Alas, I was too lazy to find any original titles for them. The new pictures start with this one.

A Rand on Rand?

Filed under: English — Matthias Jenny @ August 7, 2008, 10:40 pm

The 2008 update of The Philosophical Lexicon includes an entry inspired by Ayn Rand. Alas, one that isn’t very favorable to her polemical style (and to some degree her overall system of thought with its tendencies to over-psychologize things, I suppose):

rand, n. An angry tirade occasioned by mistaking philosophical disagreement for a personal attack and/or evidence of unspeakable moral corruption. “When I questioned his second premise, he flew into a rand.” Also, to attack or stigmatise through a rand. “When I defended socialised medicine, I was randed as a communist.”

(Via Leiter Reports.)
