Book Description
Magic floats in the air, in my pores and inside of my lungs. The essence of magic, full of love, glowing gold. However, there's also danger with magic and evil towards the one wielding such power. One slip up, one simple mistake, and they burn you. The stronger the mage, the harder they fall, and when they fall, it comes noticed.In books, when people think of mages - of people wielding magic, harsh and fierce, they resemble gods and goddesses. They think of them as beautiful creatures, strong and smart. But when magic is brought within the world, all perception changes. We are not beautiful, intelligent and brave. We aren't gods and goddesses. We are the devil's workers. Ordinary-Humans look at us with disgust. They see us as demons. Disgusting, evil creatures of the night sent to destroy all humankind.However, mages have laws to abide by. Never harm an Ordinary-Human. Never use magic in a harmful way towards another Ordinary-Human - Or mage. Do not interfere in A Mages War.And that is precisely what I had done.

Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact
Author: Ludwik Fleck
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226253252
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Originally published in German in 1935, this monograph anticipated solutions to problems of scientific progress, the truth of scientific fact and the role of error in science now associated with the work of Thomas Kuhn and others. Arguing that every scientific concept and theory—including his own—is culturally conditioned, Fleck was appreciably ahead of his time. And as Kuhn observes in his foreword, "Though much has occurred since its publication, it remains a brilliant and largely unexploited resource." "To many scientists just as to many historians and philosophers of science facts are things that simply are the case: they are discovered through properly passive observation of natural reality. To such views Fleck replies that facts are invented, not discovered. Moreover, the appearance of scientific facts as discovered things is itself a social construction, a made thing. A work of transparent brilliance, one of the most significant contributions toward a thoroughly sociological account of scientific knowledge."—Steven Shapin, Science
