Factual Errors

Famous quotes containing the words factual and/or errors:

“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

“Here among the mountains the pinions of thought should be strong, and one should see the errors of men from a calmer height of love and wisdom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
