The Theoi Project profiles each deity and creature of Greek Mythology on a separate page, incorporating an encyclopedia summary, quotations from a wide selection of ancient Greek and Roman texts, and illustrations from ancient art. Analysis of the texts and interpretation of the stories of myth is currently beyond the scope of the project. For such detailed analysis, I would suggest consulting some of the good books available on the subject. Transliterated forms of Greek names are used throughout the biography pages of the site rather than their Latin forms, e.g. Kirke instead of Circe, Ouranos for Uranus, Apollon in place of Apollo, etc.

A formal fallacy is an error in logic that can be seen in the argument's form without an understanding of the argument's content. All formal fallacies are specific types of non sequiturs . [ edit ] Propositional fallacies A propositional fallacy is an error in logic that concerns compound propositions. In order for a compound proposition to be true all the simple propositions in it have to be true and validly related as the logical connector ( , , , , ) suggests.

Travailler en Suisse - le blog de David Talerman
Le tissu d'idées préconçues nouées entre les cantons s'use mais ne rompt pas. Pourquoi le Zurichois reste-t-il arrogant et le Jurassien fêtard? Ces clichés, aussi précieux que vains, aident à vivre ensemble. Les Genevois?
Une Suisse bâtie sur des clichés
«Et un botte-cul, en avez-vous tâté ? » A la seule évocation de ce mot, Fabrice, l'ancien animateur de la télévision française, éclate de rire. Non, il ne sait pas qu'il s'agit d'un tabouret à un pied utilisé pour traire les vaches. Il ignore tout autant qu'un « bredzon » est une veste à courtes manches bouffantes encore portée dans le canton de Fribourg.
