Antonio Teixeira [1]Dans sa célèbre Théorie des couleurs (Farbenlehre), de 1791, Goethe s’insurgeait clairement contre l’optique mécaniste héritée de Newton.

War after Death considers forms of violence that regularly occur in actual wars but do not often factor into the stories we tell about war, which revolve invariably around killing and death. Recent history demonstrates that body counts are more necessary than ever, but the fact remains that war and death is only part of […]

The texts were written at different times and for different audiences, and […]
