On March 5, Jazmine Hughes wrote in a New York Times blog:
“Recently, at an IRL party — that is, a party that takes place ‘in real life,’ as opposed to where I generally live, which is on the Internet — a guest asked a friend and I how we met.”
The sentence includes a common error I have been seeing and hearing more and more often lately.
The error is using the subject pronoun “I” when the object pronoun “me” should be used.
Even President Obama can be heard using “I” for the

Features of Romanticism
Romanticism is characterized by several key features:
- Individualism: Art and literature become a manifestation of self, expressing personal feelings. This leads to the development of lyric poetry and music, art forms particularly suited for expressing subjectivity.

Truth and Reality: A Philosophical Exploration
Philosophers consider that facts and objects can be true or authentic, but propositions can also be true.
Truth of Facts
The “truth of facts” is established when we use the words “true” and “authentic.” This refers to objects and facts.

The pursuit of truth becomes a process of unveiling the authentic, which would otherwise remain hidden by appearances.
Truth as Propositions

Valle-Inclán’s Esperpento in Luces de Bohemia
Defining the Grotesque Reality
In Luces de Bohemia, Valle-Inclán clearly reflects his concept of the esperpento by distorting appearances. He presents reality through this lens; the characters adopt grotesque and even absurd demeanors, both aesthetically and ethically. These features are evident in the poet Max Estrella, who inhabits a degraded, shabby, and vulgar world governed by stupidity, arbitrariness, and profound injustice. This portrayal becomes

Metaphysics: Aristotle’s Perspective
Metaphysics: Aristotle defines philosophy as the study of first principles (that which is fundamental) and causes (found in its forms and processes).
