Community Rule

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or rule:

“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

“It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
