ellauri142.html on line 264: Humboldtin veljexiä oli 2, Alexander oli maantieteilijä, Wilhelm kielentutkija. Mulla on joku sen kielitieteen kirja hyllyssä. Joo Linguistic Variability & Intellectual Development. Pokkari. Onkohan se lyhennetty painos, Ei ole, vaikka lukuja on yhdistelty. Originally published in 1836 in the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin under the title Ueber die Verschiedenheit des menschlichen Sprachbaues und ihren Einfluss auf die geistige Entwicklung des Menschengeschlechz. Esipuheen on kirjoittanut Alexander-veli. Von Humboldt´s style is not a simple one for modern ears nor is his thought always clear. Despair was my constant companion, sanoi kääntäjä vuonna 1970.
ellauri145.html on line 535: Intellectuals very often have an image the same way rock stars and movie directors do. There’s the real person, and there’s the body of work they create, and then there’s the image, the popular conception of that person. Most people don’t understand theoretical physics and are not interested in learning the math to do so, and most people probably wouldn’t understand anything in the papers that Hawking has authored or co-authored. But most of us know who Hawking was, not only because he wrote popular books but because he was paralyzed and sat in a wheelchair and had a robot voice. The idea of a theoretical physicist who does all his work with his brain even though his body is destroyed and speaks through a machine is almost like a comic book character, and the popular imagination loves that.
ellauri145.html on line 551: Although there is certainly a bias toward “masculinity” in Nietzsche’s works, this does not necessarily mean what it is presumed to mean. “Masculinity” is not, for instance a code word for “male”. It does not apply as a broad category to those who have a certain set of genitals. In fact what the term means is having the sort of virtues that one might have typically related to the masculine virtues that were considered admirable at various times in the past. These include courage, transcendence of petty emotional concerns, fearlessness in the face of death, and so on. Intellectual courage was a particular attribute that Nietzsche was trying to encourage in his readers though his appeal to the term, “masculinity”.

xxx/ellauri357.html on line 471: Shelley ja Byron tekivät sitten veneretken Genevejärven ympäri, mikä inspiroi Shelleyta kirjoittamaan " Hymn to Intellectual Beauty ", hänen ensimmäinen merkittävä runonsa Alastorin jälkeen. Kiertue Chamonix'ssa Ranskan Alpeilla inspiroi " Mont Blancia ", jota on kuvattu ateistiseksi vastaukseksi Coleridgen "Hymni ennen auringonnousua Chamonixin laaksossa". Tämän kiertueen aikana Shelley allekirjoitti usein vieraskirjat julistuksella olevansa ateisti. Muut brittimatkailijat, mukaan lukien Southey, näkivät nämä julistukset, mikä kovetti asenteita Shelleyta kohtaan kotona.
