| | | | | 1950 - March: Encyclopedia II - T-34 - Combat history The T-34 is often used as a symbol for the effectiveness of the Soviet counterattack against the Germans. The appearance of the T-34 in the summer of 1941 was a psychological shock to the Germans, whose ideology had taught them that the Soviets were 'sub-human'[citation needed] and presumably incapable of such technical excellence; this is shown by Alfred Jodl's diary, who seems to have been taken by surprise at the appearance of the T-34 in Riga (The first confirmed use of the T-34 seems to be at Battle of Smolensk (1941) ...

While attending 8th grade in Shelbina, Sam became the youngest Eagle Scout in the state's history. In adult life, Walton became a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Sco ...

| | | | | | 1950 - March: Encyclopedia II - Michel Foucault - Criticisms of Foucault Many thinkers have criticized Foucault, ranging from Charles Taylor, Noam Chomsky, Camille Paglia, Jürgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, and Nancy Fraser to Slavoj Žižek and historian Hayden White, among others. While each of them takes issue with different aspects of Foucault's work, all of these approaches share the same basic orientation: Foucault clearly seems to reject the liberal values and philosophy associated with the Enlightenment while simultaneously secretly relying on them. They argue that this failure either makes him dangerously nihilistic, or that he cannot be taken seriously in his disavowal of normative ...
