Examples

“[I]t now seems that in the heart of the seventeenth century many writers advanced a vision of inquiry in which truth and falsehood, far from being always and everywhere incompatible, must sometimes be combined in the search for knowledge. To understand this pleaching of truth and untruth, we need to consider how facets of the baroque interact.”
