Quotes
- Yerem Mújicahas quoted2 years ago
politically, the modern world, in which we live today, was born with the first atomic explosions. - Yerem Mújicahas quoted2 years agothe sciences today have been forced to adopt a “language” of mathematical symbols which, though it was originally meant only as an abbreviation for spoken statements, now contains statements that in no way can be translated back into speech. The reason why it may be wise to distrust the political judgment of scientists qua scientists is not primarily their lack of “character”—that they did not refuse to develop atomic weapons—or their naïveté—that they did not understand that once these weapons were developed they would be the last to be consulted about their use—but precisely the fact that they move in a world where speech has lost its power.
- María José Gónzalezhas quoted2 years ago
There may be truths beyond speech, and they may be of great relevance to man in the singular
