Atomic Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words atomic and/or proposition:

“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

“A propositional sign, applied and thought out, is a thought. A thought is a proposition with a sense.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
