He was a great, cruel, and strange satirist. He managed to cast a sharp and evil eye on Russian bureaucracy, despite being a high-ranking official himself — a vice-governor and a general. But he viewed modernity through the prism of Russian folklore, so his characters are half-human, half-fairytale monsters. And he was imbued with a ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases.
