On the Internet respectable economists are debating on the topic "False theses of Marxism: the tendency of the rate of profit to fall". Dozens of economists are involved in these debates. Some believe that K. Marx is right, others believe that he is wrong. At the same time, the disputants reveal negligence in relation to each other, a complete misunderstanding of the text of "CAPITAL", but they also admit accusations against K. Marx, such as: "his understanding of the meaning of the concept of" constant capital "was amateurish", or "the mechanism of "surplus time" was invented and the appropriation of workers' labor in this mythical "surplus time", and so on, etc. We cannot agree with such an attitude towards K. Marx, who left us (humanity!) An invaluable ideological legacy, manuscripts not fully published during his lifetime under the general title "CAPITAL".

When the Church recognizes the quantity of books as part of God's Word, it uses various standards for book collection. The Tewahedo Orthodox Church, which has 81 books, is one of the churches that got so many. The question of why this Church accepts so many books in its canon and how this Church interprets these books adds to the intricacy of the problem of the number of books in the Tewahedo Orthodox Church tradition. This research employs a content analysis to conduct a literature review. This research demonstrates the Tewahedo Orthodox Church's devotion to the works in its canon. Both in terms of apostles' and Church Fathers' traditions, the lengthy history of Social Culture, Councils and Synods, and the impact of ancient literature in Ethiopia.Although it is well known that writings outside the Hebrew protocanon are employed for ceremonial theology and people's education rather than construction, the Orthodox Tewahedo also believes these works to be vital as books worth reading and historical bridges. Abstrak indonesia  Standar pengumpulan kitab yang digunakan oleh Gereja ketika menerima jumlah kitab-kitab sebagai bagian dari Alkitab yang dipegang menggunakan standar yang berbeda-beda. Salah satu gereja yang menerima begitu banyak kitab adalah Gereja Tewahedo Orthodox yang memiliki 81 kitab. Kompleksnya masalah jumlah kitab di dalam tradisi Gereja Tewahedo Orthodox ini, menjadi pertanyaan apa yang menyebabkan Gereja ini menerima begitu banyak kitab dalam kanonnya dan bagaimana Gereja ini memandang kitab-kitab tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan Kajian Kepustakaan berupa kajian isi. Dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan kompleksitas penerimaan Gereja Tewahedo Orthodox terhadap kitab-kitab dalam kanonnya. Baik karena pengaruh tradisi rasul-rasul dan Bapa Gereja, sejarah panjang dalam Social Budaya dan Konsili serta Sinode, maupun juga pengaruh dari Literatur kuno di Ethiopia. Dan diketahui bahwa kitab-kitab diluar protokanon Ibrani tidak digunakan dalam membangun doktrin namun digunakan untuk ritual-ritual dan pengajaran umat, Tewahedo Orthodox juga meganggap penting kitab-kitab ini sebagai kitab-kitab yang layak dibaca dan digunakan sebagai jembatan sejarah.

This review focuses on Why Trust Science? by Naomi Oreskes. It examines the book as far as its structure and, most importantly, argumentation is concerned. Much as the first one is worthy of attention, the latter one entails doubts. While the book is undoubtedly worth reading due to the topic it addresses—trust in science—the reader is advised to approach its argumentation with wariness.

Carl Schmitt thought and wrote in contradictions. Was this already a revolt of thought in the sense of Alain Badiou? Or was Schmitt—as some interpreters think—merely an opportunist, albeit a powerful one in terms of language? A certain recalcitrance towards the so-called ‘mainstream’ influenced him throughout his life. From the beginning of his academic work, he always attracted the attention of experts—and often of those beyond—with his sometimes extremely provocative theses. His sharpness of thought and his polished style made and still make his writings worth reading. Using the tools of political science analysis, this book deals in six parts with the myth of the state and the friend–foe thinking that made Carl Schmitt famous, the reason for the state and states of emergency, thinking about the greater space and world order, and Schmitt's elective affinities with Hobbes, Bodin and Machiavelli. Finally, it endeavours to answer the question of the significance of Carl Schmitt in contemporary debates. Carl Schmitt is the great stimulator. In his writings, he brought problems to the fore that other observers missed and he foresaw political developments before they became virulent. In view of our crisis-ridden times, engaging with his sometimes unconventional views is particularly worthwhile, even if he remains controversial as a person. This volume is the revised and updated new edition of the book ‘Denken in Widersprüchen’ (Thinking in Contradictions), the first edition of which was published by Nomos in 2015.

The article discusses the anthropocentric and cultural trend in Polish language didactics (starting from Jan Polakowski). The author also points to a different understanding of the terms <em>anthropology</em> and <em>anthropocentrism</em> in modern humanities and gives examples of texts (of which even fragments are worth reading with students), questions that can be asked to students, and issues that students should be sensitive to – in connection with the presence in the literature, art and didactics of motives, plots and reflection of anthropological nature. The study is a kind of guide to selected issues and dissertations.

A Day Like Today, by John Humphrys. London, UK: William Collins, 2019. 400 pages. ISBN 9780007415595  400pp. JOHN HUMPHRYS will be less well known outside the UK than his contemporary from BBC World,  John Simpson, but his autobiography is an entertaining and informative recounting of his career and well worth reading. For more than three decades he presided over BBC Radio 4’s flagship early morning current affairs programme, Today. Like Jeremey Paxman on BBC2’s Newsnight, he built a reputation for taking no prisoners in interviews and for having a keen sense of what makes good radio journalism.
