  • The Wolf of Lexicography
    Aug 12 2025

    Antun Vujić (born 14 July 1945).

    A fruitful episode about a fruitful man. From dissident political activity to squabbling over words. Was the wolf tamed? Or his vigour sublimated?

    NHR is off his chipolatas.

    We really like Antun. Where are the men like this in our culture?

    From heady beginnings in 1967 with an underground magazine before winding up at the Yugoslav Lexicographical Institute in the early Seventies, we are dealing with a truly impressive man. He also completed a PhD in Philosophy of Science in 1985. We explore his virility. He received a sash and star.

    Antun Vujić (born 14 July 1945[1]) is a Croatian politician, philosopher, political analyst, lexicographer and author serving as a director of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography since 2012. He was a member of Croatian Parliament and Minister of Culture in the Croatian Government from January 2000 to December 2003.

  • Fable
    Jul 29 2025

    Fable is a literary genre defined as a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphised, and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson, which may at the end be added explicitly as a concise maxim or saying.

    A fable differs from a parable in that the latter excludes animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech or other powers of humankind. Conversely, an animal tale specifically includes talking animals as characters.[1]

    Usage has not always been so clearly distinguished. In the King James Version of the New Testament, "μῦθος" ("mythos") was rendered by the translators as "fable"[2] in the First Epistle to Timothy, the Second Epistle to Timothy, the Epistle to Titus and the First Epistle of Peter.[3]

    Hosted by Tristan Haze and Nathan Hugh Robért

    Implicit leadership theory (ILT) is a cognitive theory of leadership developed by Robert Lord and colleagues.[1] It is based on the idea that individuals create cognitive representations of the world, and use these preconceived notions to interpret their surroundings and control their behaviors.[2]
