Davidson, "A coherence theory of truth", "Afterthoughts", in SIO.
argument from an omniscient interpreter is not cogent, unhappily though.

Kuhn, "I. Introduction: A role for history", The structure of scientific revolutions.

i wonder how seriously we could attribute to Kuhn a hard relativist view. in this passage he expresses a subtle stance, "Again, many of my generalizations are about the sociology or social psychology of scientists; yet at least a few of my conclusions belong tradtionally to logic or epistemology."
i for the time being try to blame a sort of relativism on him, his real moderate view aside.

anyway, i made up a rough sketch of the research presentation, which gonna be held on march 6th. after the presentation, alas, it's not so long before i become 21 years old, sack it. tempus fugit? i hate to admit.

NHK special on the mission to mars: i of course checked this, since i'm a man who even make it a rule to watch PLANETES in the sat. morning. very fantastic. the two rovers, spirit and...i forgot, will probably find an evidence of life on mars, which is fascinating even to me, because life on mars means we don't live in a lonely universe, at least in this universe, if there is a countably infinite set of worlds.
