Entre humour noir et réflexivité : écouter la voix de Moss dans No Country for Old Men by Françoise Sammarcelli

“…The latter slows down the rhythm by introducing discontinuity in the sequence of dramatic actions and combines wisecracking and philosophical reflections; it is also endowed with a special status as it contains Moss’s last words in the text. Lastly, it is worth observing how the film adapts these theatrical or incongruous moments and what it achieves by reducing Moss’s spoken presence, replacing it by visual reflexivity and an increased dramatic tension.…”

The Meaning of 'Refutation' in Kant's Refutation of Idealism by Hyoung Sung Kim

“…By examining Kant's legal, logical, and critical uses of 'refutation', I argue for what I call a ‘diagnostic’ reading of the Refutation: Kant seeks to identify the grounds for why someone might be attracted to Cartesian skepticism and then appeals to his doctrines concerning space and time in the Transcendental Aesthetic to show how such grounds contains a difficult-to-see error. In contemporary terms, Kantian 'refutations' resemble so-called ‘debunking arguments’ which seek to undermine a belief’s rational standing by characterizing the grounds for the belief in question as flawed, defective, or unfavorable.…”
