These are thoughts that come to me when I first heard, with disbelief and sadness, of the suicide of a teaching assistant of the Ateneo de Manila's Department of Philosophy.
Lorenz Tan, who would have been a Philosophy teacher, could not have chosen a more philosophical way to die. Socrates drank hemlock. He locked himself in one of the rooms of the Philosophy Department, burnt paper and charcoal and allowed the fumes to gas him to death.
Versimilitude, in literature, is how fully the characters and actions in a work of fiction conform to our sense of reality. To say that a work has a high degree of verisimilitude means that the work is very realistic and believable – that it is "true to life."
