Physical Objects

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or objects:

“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)

“We are thus assisted by natural objects in the expression of particular meanings. But how great a language to convey such pepper-corn informations!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
