/lit/ - Literature

I’m starting historical research for a book. That involves lots of names, attributes, notes on who came from where, did what, interacted with whom, and so on and so forth.

Do you know about established methods to keep track of all this various data and in particular, tree like structure of chronological events.

Thank you!

But you're also implying beauty is subjective.
Contrary to that, I think humans have a common underlying understanding of beauty and common preferences - even it evolved (in the biologocal sense)

Should we turn to a far more empirically based reading and action plan of politics?

The question is motivated by this attack and back-attack between Zizek and Chomsky

Yeah, I hate that.

>So which is the right answer? I CLAIM: None of them, and at the same time all of them.

That's a quote

I don't have a problem with the general possibility of such statements, but I when authors like Zizek rely on those kind of "interesting claims" for delivering an argument, I feel it's just made up to sound profound and I immediately start to distrust the agenda and in turn the statement of the author.
