Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or causation:
“He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
