Famous quotes containing the words analytic and/or philosophers:
“You, that have not lived in thought but deed,
Can have the purity of a natural force,
But I, whose virtues are the definitions
Of the analytic mind, can neither close
The eye of the mind nor keep my tongue from speech.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“You ask: What is it that philosophers have called qualitative states? I answer, only half in jest: As Louis Armstrong is said to have said when asked what jazz is, If you got to ask, you aint never gonna get to know.”
—Ned Block (b. 1942)
