Andre Aciman
Call me by name by André ACIMED.?

I have curiosity to see how many people have read this book and his views on the novel. I, for example, I love this story. It is one of my absolute favorite novels and I love the way Acima conveys emotions with such complexity. I'd love to hear opinions, and if you have not read this book, I suggest you do.

Aristophanes
What is considered philosophical progress in 'The clouds of Aristophanes?

"Almost everyone in 'Aristophanes' Clouds is stupid but people are less stupid at the end of the work than they are at first. Real philosophical progress has been made. "Agree or disagree with this idea, or modify to suit your own point of view of the text. Obviously, you have to give "philosophical" definition useful and meaningful if it is plausible to argue about of this problem.

Like the following questions about the relationship or Liebiz Volataire, parody as a philsopher enough to contradict Socrates a radical person. What we learn, possibly at the end of "clouds" is that ontological speculation on the basis of empirical skepticism is an illusion. Aristophanes, cultural, provides a way to Aristotle, who can be the foundation of Platonism in the observed world.

Brian Aldiss
Who would give credit for the screenplay of the film AI: AI?

Who would give credit to? Brian Aldiss, Ian Watson, Steven Spielberg, or someone else?

and each of these had a part in it Brian Aldiss wrote the original story Supertoys Last All Summer Long, which was based AI, then Ian Watson wrote the story for the screen, which is a kind of blueprint for the movie and then Spielberg He wrote the script, which is part of the dialogue. I guess better story fits Ian Watson in this case.

Jane Austen
Why authors like Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters lost place names?

I've noticed that in both Jane Austen and the novels "The tenant of Wildfell Hall "by Anne Bronte, I'm currently reading the names of places are frequently replaced by dashes. For example, county "———– "Or talk about a picnic in the cliffs that "——–". This has always intrigued me. Does anyone have an explanation?

Another reason might have been that people were not "very busy" at the time of the Brontes and Jane Austen, so that instead of feeding their readers mis-information, which can be very irritating, the names were lost so that the reader could put the characters in a place that is unfamiliar. As another answerer has said, if it is absorbed ever, does not really matter where you are, but mis-information does not bother me, and I would read the story.
