I raise worries about two elements of his view the role played in it by the distinction between icorrectness and e-correctness, and the construal of doxastic correctness as an ideal of reason. I propose an alternative approach. It is a great privilege to contribute to this festschrift for Pascal Engel, and thereby pay a...

Holomorphic Engel Structures

Recently there has been renewed interest among differential geometers in the theory of Engel structures. We introduce holomorphic analogues of these structures, and pose the problem of classifying projective manifolds admitting them. Besides providing the basic properties of these varieties, we present two series of examples and characterize them by certain positivity conditions on the Engel st...
