The only fully intact textual evidence from fifth-century and (very) early fourth-century comedy are the eleven completely preserved comedies by Aristophanes, who was born, in all likelihood, shortly after 450 bce and died after 388 bce.1 This is, in fact, not as thin a basis as one might initially think. For not only is the number of completely preserved Aristophanic comedies actually quite hi...

The sphere, because of its high symmetry, is what might be called a perfect shape. Unfortunately nature is imperfect and many apparently spherical bodies are better represented by an ellipsoid. Consequently in calculations about gravitational potential, for example, spherical harmonics have to be replaced by the much more complex ellipsoidal harmonics. Their theory, which was originated in the ...

The proposed solution runs entirely against the orthodoxy that compositionality is necessary for modularity, but it is persausive. Much to their credit, the authors have robustly defended this view and others in several online forums, and have shown they are prepared to accept and develop viewpoints distinct from their own. In closing, I must ask the inevitable rhetorical questions: would CTM h...
