I have chosen to use the word `` mimesis '' in its Christian rather than its classic implications and to discover in the concrete forms of both art and myth powers of theological expression which, as in the Christian mind, are the direct consequence of involvement in historical experience, which are not reserved, as in the Greek mind, only to moments of theoretical reflection.

Now, with virtually every writer, not only was the European origin of public law acknowledged as a historical phenomenon, but the rules thus established by the advanced civilizations of Europe were to be imposed on others.

Attlee's modesty and quiet manner hid a great deal that has only come to light with historical reappraisal.

Clausewitz introduced systematic philosophical contemplation into Western military thinking, with powerful implications not only for historical and analytical writing but also for practical policy, military instruction, and operational planning.

However, the Russian culture has two distinct terms: Средняя Азия ( Srednjaja Azija or " Middle Asia ", the narrower definition, which includes only those traditionally non-Slavic, Central Asian lands that were incorporated within those borders of historical Russia ) and Центральная Азия ( Central ' naja Azija or " Central Asia ", the wider definition, which includes Central Asian lands that have never been part of historical Russia ).

The following year, in 1874, the group held their first ' Impressionist ' Exhibition, which shocked and “ horrified ” the critics, who primarily appreciated only scenes portraying religious, historical, or mythological settings.

The idea recurred in Classicist Michael Grant's 1977 review of the evidence for Jesus, who compared modern scepticism about an historical Jesus to the ancient docetic idea that Jesus only seemed to come into the world " in the flesh ".

Efforts by members of the Vermont Historical Society and other historical groups through the years have followed up on rumored likenesses, only to come up empty.

Here we denote with the Bernoulli number of the second kind ( only because the historical reason of formation of this article ) which differ from the first kind only for the index 1.

But in Exodus, everything is presented as the work of God, who appears frequently in person, and the historical setting is only very hazily sketched.

In that sense, not only is Kraepelin's significance historical, but contemporary psychiatric research is also heavily influenced by his work.

The repression of memory led to historical revisionism in Italy and in 2003 the Italian media published Silvio Berlusconi's statement that the Benito Mussolini only " used to send people on vacation ", denying the existence of Italian concentration camps, such as Rab concentration camp.

Having noted the current use of many, often contradictory, definitions of feudalism, she argued that the word is only a construct with no basis in medieval reality, an invention of modern historians read back " tyrannically " into the historical record.

Their price predictions are only extrapolations from historical price patterns.

The Jazz Three displayed their sound musicianship, not only in their own chosen set, but as the emergency accompanists for Al Minns & Leon James, the superb jazz dancers who have now been Newport performers for three successive years, gradually moving up from a morning seminar on the evolution of the blues to a spot on the evening program.

Carnegie instead preferred to see things through naturalistic and scientific terms stating, " Not only had I got rid of the theology and the supernatural, but I had found the truth of evolution.

Still, in the absence of naked singularities, the universe is deterministic — it's possible to predict the entire evolution of the universe ( possibly excluding some finite regions of space hidden inside event horizons of singularities ), knowing only its condition at a certain moment of time ( more precisely, everywhere on a spacelike 3-dimensional hypersurface, called the Cauchy surface ).

This idea is in conflict with the evolutionary philosophy of paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, who preferred to stress the " pluralism " of evolution ( i. e., its dependence on many crucial factors, of which natural selection is only one ).

There, as in other natural sciences and engineering disciplines, the evolution rule of dynamical systems is given implicitly by a relation that gives the state of the system only a short time into the future.

A number of other changes have also characterized the evolution of humans, among them an increased importance on vision rather than smell ; a smaller gut ; loss of body hair ; evolution of sweat glands ; a change in the shape of the dental arcade from being u-shaped to being parabolic ; development of a chin ( only found in Homo sapiens ), development of styloid processes ; development of a descended larynx.

Darwin's book did not address the question of human evolution, saying only that " Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history ".

In contrast, the multiregional hypothesis proposed that Homo genus contained only a single interconnected population like it does today ( not separate species ), and that its evolution took place worldwide continuously over the last couple million years.

Because of the specialized and rare circumstances required for a biological structure to fossilize, only a very small percentage of all life-forms that have ever existed can be expected to be represented in discoveries, and each discovery represents only a snapshot of the process of evolution.

With only five or six human generations in 150 years, time for natural selection has been very limited, suggesting that increased skeletal size resulting from changes in population phenotypes is more likely than recent genetic evolution.

While scientists have learned a great deal about ours and other galaxies, the most fundamental questions about formation and evolution remain only tentatively answered.

In reality, however, following a process of constitutional evolution, powers are usually only exercised by direction of a cabinet, presided over by a prime minister who is answerable to the legislature.

They propose that Judaism has entered a phase of ethical monotheism, and that the laws of Judaism are only remnants of an earlier stage of religious evolution, and need not be followed.

The presence of this adaptation in three distinct evolutionary lineages suggests convergent evolution of this strategy, it being unlikely to be an ancient characteristic retained in only scattered groups or through massive lateral gene transfer.

This has been said to be due to the fact that researchers in the past, such as Lamarck, viewed vertebrates as a " standard ": in Lamarck's theory of evolution, he believed that characteristics acquired through the evolutionary process involved not only survival, but also progression toward a " higher form ", to which humans and vertebrates were closer than invertebrates were.

In this way, eyes are recognized by modern biologists as actually a relatively unambiguous and simple structure to evolve, and many of the major developments of the eye's evolution are believed to have taken place over only a few million years, during the Cambrian explosion.

* " As irreducible complexity is only a negative argument against evolution, it is refutable and accordingly testable, unlike ID Design, by showing that there are intermediate structures with selectable functions that could have evolved into the allegedly irreducibly complex systems.

Graves argues that not only is r / K selection theory considered to be virtually useless when applied to human life history evolution, but Rushton does not apply the theory correctly, and displays a lack of understanding of evolutionary theory in general.

* Noborigama kiln-the Noborigama is an evolution from Anagama design as a multi-chamber kiln, usually built on a slope, where wood is stacked from the front firebox at first, then only through the side-stoking holes with the benefit of having air heated up to 600 ° C from the front firebox, enabling more efficient firings.

Dawkins wrote that evolution depended not on the particular chemical basis of genetics, but only on the existence of a self-replicating unit of transmission — in the case of biological evolution, the gene.

Dawkins emphasizes that the process of evolution naturally occurs whenever these conditions co-exist, and that evolution does not apply only to organic elements such as genes.
