Cosmic Process

Famous quotes containing the words cosmic and/or process:

“The new knowledge has not yet settled in culture. It has not yet been integrated in a new cosmic conception.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
