It’s hard to understand how one person could be so selfish and take…

War throughout history has been limited as opposed to absolute. Limited war by its nature is the opposite of absolute war, and absolute war is a theory that fails as a construct.

Categories of war, as defined by Carl von Clausewitz, are absolute war, ideal war, limited war, real war, war to disarm the enemy, war…

In The Absolute Bourgeois, T. J. Clark notes that much of Millet’s work from the early 1850s reduces the lives of the proletariat to menial existences: “They [Millet’s pieces] do no more than illustrate their tasks, they are created to grasp the hay or wield the pitchfork…they are not so much anonymous as perfunctory.” Indeed, Millet and the other artists of his time created works that blended technical mastery with profound subtextual content. Their cleverly composed pieces often stirred…

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. The absolute zero value of an experiment is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value. The theoretical values for absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 ◦C or -459.67 ◦F). This principle applies to the experiment as it explains the value at which…

Absolutism is a form of government rule where one individual is given complete power and is not challenged by whether he is right or wrong. This form of government was “given by God.” Rulers…
