George Bernard Shaw

 

 

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” 

 

 

 

Nice quotes from the beautiful movie "Lucia"

Are you a creature of illusion? or illusion is your creation?

Are you a part of the body? Or is the body a part of you?

Is space within the house? Or the house within space? 

Or are both space and the house within the seeing eye? 

Is the eye within the mind? Or the mind within the eye? 

Or are both the eye and the mind within you?

Does sweetness lie in sugar, or sugar in sweetness? 

Or do both sweetness and sugar lie in the tongue?

Is the tongue within the mind? Or the mind within the tongue? 

Or are both the tongue and the mind within you?

Does fragrance lie in the flower? Or the flower in fragrance? 

Or do both the flower and fragrance lie in the nostrils? 

I cannot say, O Lord Adikeshava of Kaginele,

O! peerless one, are all things within you alone?

I dreamed I was a butterfly, 

flitting around in the sky; 

then I awoke. 

Now I wonder: 

Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, 

or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

I gathered the stars in a flower bowl, Before I could String .. the Light went out, Everything Disappeared.. 

They say god has written my fate on my forehead. Give me a mirror. 

Even if I find a mirror, Everything is topsy-turvy.. 

THE Truth or truth : Different views on the possibility for knowledge

Three scientific views (positivism-scientism , Idealist , and Critical-Realist) are interesting to consider in their approach and acceptance of theory and knowledge. They each have specific views of the nature of knowledge, causality, and specific stances in relation to socio-politics of knowledge and philosophy of knowledge.

Dr. Steve Fleetwood's (2013) presentation has an interesting summary page on the three views and their defining characteristics. See Here

4 modes of reality under cr perspective, including materially, ideally (the only mode recognized by idealists), artefactually, and socially real.
