To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject. Edmund Husserl
The other aspect of American identity worth focusing on is the concept of America as a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth. Samuel P. Huntington
William Masters quote: "Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to..."
Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built. William Masters
Eric Hoffer quote: "When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we..."
When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths. Eric Hoffer
Richard Whately quote: "All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the..."
All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the side of truth. Richard Whately
Richard Whately quote: "Everyone wishes to have truth on his side, but not everyone..."
