and seeming omniscience of our digital tools. Eco has amassed tens of thousands of books, and
always observes that he hasn't read most of them. It’s true that understanding how these virtues
apply in the arts and humanities is more complicated than in some areas of university research, in part
because, in our constant dialogue about humanity’s ever-changing self-understanding, terms such as
“truth”, “sincerity” and “virtue” are part of the dialogue and not fixed points. A thesis represents an
investment with an uncertain return, mostly because its life-changing aspects have to do with

describe laborers in the Abruzzi region, and there are others who can depict producers of cliches.
This section concerns confidence in writing and feeling accomplished in one’s efforts and diligence.
Consider Eco’s caution against “the alibi of photocopies”: “A student makes hundreds of pages of
photocopies and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the
impression that he possesses the work. He has also written several books and chapters on diverse
subjects, and has been blogging and speaking since 2006. But the book’s enduring appeal—the
reason it might interest someone whose life no longer demands the writing of anything longer than
an e-mail—has little to do with the rigors of undergraduate honors requirements. Collecting his
thoughts on the thesis process would save him the trouble of reciting the same advice to students

master. Remarkably, this is its first, long overdue publication in English. When famed archaeologist
Arthur Evans unearthed the ruins of a sophisticated Bronze Age civilization that flowered on Crete
1,000 years before Greece's Classical Age, he discovered a cache of ancient tablets, Europe's earliest

universe’s complexity, and especially to communicate it to an ever-more skeptical public, holds the
key to humanity’s future well-being. If you ask people about historical characters it is painfully
obvious. I have always regretted throwing away that bit of the story, because I really liked the idea
of water not coming out of a tap. Today’s moral panic is about AI and machine learning. But, as Joli
Jensen proves, it really is possible to write happily and productively in academe. Brother William
turns detective, and a uniquely deft one at that. Hal yang memikat dari buku ini adalah bagaimana
Eco menyodorkan kecakapan praktis sekaligus pandangan kritis di balik kiat-kiat yang ia lontarkan,
yang tajam namun juga kerap bikin ketawa. Ia dapat berfungsi sebagai hipotesis berjalan, yang
memberikan batas pada tesis, tetapi juga membuka kemungkinan-kemungkinan untuk perubahan dan
perbaikan selama proses menulis. The beginning, printed in a different font, talks about a tap with no
water coming out of it, and about the university adventures of the protagonist, who is also the

would be dealing with Mussolini’s death. This is not to say Eco’s book is rooted firmly in the past,
but that it has stood the test of time. In the first treatment of this subject ever published, Dr. Richard
Carrier answers all these questions and more. Anyone under 30 may even say that Hitler met

second-rate newspaper, so he couldn’t be modeled on our prize journalists like Scalfari or
Montanelli. But in this ever-changing Internet age, short-form writing has become an essential skill.
Eco explores common traps: for example, the “alibi of photocopies” (and, we can add, scans, PDFs
and so on) (“there are many things I do not know because I photocopied a text and then relaxed as if

Baroque protagonist I spontaneously adopted the style I had studied at the university of Turin with
the critic Giovanni Getto in his lectures on the Baroque writer G.B. Marino, that I had somehow
absorbed and memorized. The idea of a manuscript is actually a cunning trick of realism. This is

the one hand, there is the whole world of occultism, but on the other there is the feuilleton effect,
and the re-working of ancient literature. In the first treatment of this subject ever published, Dr.
Richard Carrier answers all these questions and more.
Newspaper articles have an incredibly short shelf-life. As critics continue to assail the prohibitive
cost and possible uselessness of college—and at a time when anything that takes more than a few
minutes to skim is called a “longread”—it’s understandable that devoting a small chunk of one’s
frisky twenties to writing a thesis can seem a waste of time, outlandishly quaint, maybe even selfish.
Some of Eco's advice is, if anything, even more valuable now, given the ubiquity and seeming
omniscience of our digital tools. Then there’s the ghost of Mussolini which the paranoid Braggadocio
sees. You can’t do anything more than that, and you have to go back to actually painting something.

better thesis.” Other suggestions may strike the modern student as anachronistic, such as the novel
idea of using an address book to keep a log of one’s sources. I wanted to put together a group of
