Express Propositions

Famous quotes containing the words express and/or propositions:

“It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

“In fact, of course, I hold that propositions that contemporary
philosophers would properly count as ‘empirical’ can be necessary and be known to be such.”
—Saul Kripke (b. 1940)
