Famous quotes containing the words function and/or object:
“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)
“I am tired of a life of contention, and of being the personal object for the hatred of every man, who hates the present state of things.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
