Famous quotes containing the words category and/or groups:
“Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (18701924)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choicethere is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community.

—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
