Vanity Fair is an English novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, which follows the lives of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley amid their friends and families during and after the Napoleonic Wars. The story is framed as a puppet play, and the narrator, despite being an authorial voice, is somewhat unreliable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, profoundly shaped modern thought, particularly in the realms of language, logic, and the philosophy of mind. His philosophy spans two distinct periods, marked by an evolution in his views on the relationship between language, meaning, and reality. Wittgenstein’s work challenges the way we think about and use language, positing that philosophical problems often arise from misunderstandings of language and its limitations. Wittgenstein’s early philosophy, as presented in his landmark work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, was grounded in the belief that language could mirror the structure of reality. According to his "picture theory of meaning," words and sentences are pictures that represent facts in the world. He argued that the limits of language are also the limits of the world, and anything that could not be meaningfully expressed through language was simply beyond the scope of philosophy. This view led him to conclude that many traditional philosophical problems were nonsensical, arising from a misuse of language. However, Wittgenstein underwent a significant philosophical transformation after his work on the Tractatus, largely due to his dissatisfaction with the results of his early approach. By the time of his later work, particularly in Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein had rejected the picture theory of meaning and developed the concept of "language games." He argued that meaning is not inherent in words themselves but is derived from their use in various social contexts. Language, for Wittgenstein, is a tool embedded in human practices and activities. He claimed that understanding language requires understanding the ways it functions in specific contexts, challenging the idea of a fixed, underlying structure of meaning.Ver libro

London is often called the best place in the world to eat – a city where a new landmark restaurant opens each day, where vertiginous towers, sprawling food halls and central neighbourhoods contain the cuisines of every country in the world. Yet, this London is not where Londoners usually eat. There is another version of London that exists in its marginal spaces, where food culture flourishes in parks and allotments, in warehouses and industrial estates, along rivers and A-roads, in baths and in libraries. A city where Londoners eat, sell, produce and distribute food every day without fanfare, where its food culture weaves in and out of daily urban existence. In a city of rising rents, of gentrification, and displacement, this new and updated edition of London Feeds Itself, edited by the food writer and editor of Vittles, Jonathan Nunn, shows that the true centres of London food culture can be found in ever more creative uses of space, eked out by the people who make up the city. Its chapters explore the charged intersections between food and modern London's varied urban conditions, from markets and railway arches to places of worship to community centres. 26 essays about 26 different buildings, structures and public amenities in which London's vernacular food culture can be found, seen through the eyes of writers, architects, journalists and politicians – all accompanied by over 125 guides to some of the city's best vernacular restaurants across all 33 London boroughs.
