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

 Before Hogarth's arrival, the scientists were able ...

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]
