Famous quotes containing the words handed and/or system:
“Thinking about the universe has now been handed over to specialists. The rest of us merely read about it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
