![]() Despite all the two years of stalemate it wasn’t until these battles that the British first could see the futile horror of the war. Sacco chose the first day of the Somme offensive because it offered a chance to capture the whole of the battle, complete with its almost naivete, even two years in, to the realities of modern war. The scope of the battle ranges from General Haig shown walking, riding and otherwise planing the battle from his headquarters in a chateau well back of the front, to the detailed horror of the men going over the top. Joe Sacco’s The Great Way-July 1, 1916: The First Day of the Battle of the Somme is a 24 foot long drawing of the first day of the battle of the Somme (for fastidious it is really the 12 hours before and the first 18 hours of July 1st) that attempts to capture the essence of the whole battle in one massive image.

Only this time, the winner isn’t subjected to something like our usual Designated Driver duty or eating a lime off the floor. ![]() I’m pretty sure we were born to be this way, and in the three decades since, nothing has changed.įor those reasons alone it shouldn’t surprise me when Kam pulls one of his classic moves and forces us to compete in yet another bet. Sounds a little much, but it’s been like this since we were old enough to talk, and even then I’m sure it was a race as to who spoke first.

He calls into question everything that he thinks he has learned through his senses but rests his whole system on the one truth that he cannot doubt, namely, the reality of his own mind and the radical difference between the mental and the physical aspects of the world.ĭescartes (late in our excerpt) suggests that sense experience might be like dreaming, i.e., vivid but not matching the way things really are. ![]() Therefore Descartes proposes a method of thought incorporating the rigor of mathematics but based on intuitive truths about what is real, basic knowledge which could not be wrong (like the axioms of geometry). Unfortunately, because they depend on hypotheses, they cannot tell us what is real (i.e., what the world is really like). ![]() In his Discourse on Method he expresses his disappointment with traditional philosophy and with the limitations of theology only logic, geometry and algebra hold his respect, because of the utter certainty which they can offer us. ![]() René Descartes, the celebrated mathematician and physicist, is also often considered a founder of modern philosophy, as he sought new ways to move beyond Medieval Aristoteleanism and justify the science of his day. ![]() |
