Famous quotes containing the words general and/or agent:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (18181883)
“... in doing our psychology, we want to attribute mental states fully opaquely because its the fully opaque reading which tells us what the agent has in mind, and its what the agent has in mind that causes his behavior.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
