Rizzoli’s latest large-format treasure, filled with colorful, comic, brilliantly reproduced sketches from Fellini’s copious diaries, will be recognizable to anyone familiar with the director’s work.

Jean-François Lyotard (1924 - 1998) "Paganism rejects any universal criteria for judgement, yet Lyotard claims that we must judge, that justice demands this of us. So how do we judge, without criteria? Lyotard invokes both Kant and Nietzsche in his answer. In Kantian terms, we judge through the constitutive imagination. For Kant, this ability to judge, and to invent criteria, is mysterious, and there...
