Philosophy Wire: Journalism, Bild, Zeitung, prejudice, Parmenides…

42505Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-05-13]: Journalists from Sueddeutsche Zeitung refused to receive the Henri Nannen Journalism Award due to the fact that newspaper Bild was also awarded [source: 1, 2]. Prejudice is difficult to fight. When you “know” that something is not of a high quality, how can you accept it as something else if it changes? Wasn’t Parmenides who said that the notion of Change is an illusion after all (see Harmonia Philosophica) ? How can something change, but still remain the “same” so that we are able to refer to it by the same name?
