Evident Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words evident and/or proposition:

“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

“And so let my proposition be understood and pondered: history can be borne only by strong personalities, weak ones are utterly extinguished by it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
