Drawn Position

Famous quotes containing the words drawn and/or position:

“Could it be that wisdom appears on earth as a raven, drawn by the faint smell of carrion?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
