Cover Photo

edit

This is the English language version of the page, right? I think it would be more useful to English readers to put up the most recent English cover instead of the Polish. For example, when I "like" this novel on Facebook, I'd like people to see the most recent cover so they'll look for it and read it. And why there is a photo of the Brazilian version seems pretty random for an English page as well. Genepoz (talk) 08:40, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

My recent correction

edit

At the beginning of Section 7 in the Book it is stated

 The Project, when I made my appearance, had two concrete achievements to show for itself; they were actually one and the same, repeated independently in the biochemistry and biophysics departments. ... "Frog Eggs" and "Lord of the Flies."

Thus I corrected the page, where we now just have

Positivism

edit

is not the position that scientists can proceed without being influenced by their attachment to the outside world. Whereas that position would strengthen the outlook for positivism as a practicable programme (and we are about a century late for that debate), it is not implied by positivism. 92.184.121.14 (talk) 14:20, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
