Famous quotes containing the words word, sense and/or induction:
“The very word “Christianity” is a misunderstanding—there was really only one Christian, and he died on the cross. The “evangel” died on the cross.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.”
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
