Ars Nova was the title of a treatise by Philippe de Vitry , a fourteenth-century composer and theorist who was responsible for certain improvements in musical notation. Greater precision in the notation of rapid passages was brought about by the introduction of the minion, and rhe use of red and black notes made possible for the first time the accurate indication of subtle and complex rhythms.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte
(1762-1814)
Third of six weekly lectures by Isaiah Berlin
Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford
In these lectures Isaiah Berlin discusses the ideas of some social and politicai thinkers before and after the French Revolution which, in his view, have had a greater influence both for good and evil in the twentieth century than in their own time and are now more important than ever.
In this lecture Mr. Berlin tadks about
Fidate's doctrine of freedom and morality u the assertion of the self, and speaks of its roots in German thought and its incompatibility with the liberal Western ideas of Fichte's time.
