Belief Congruence Theory

Famous quotes containing the words belief, congruence and/or theory:

“The belief that established science and scholarship—which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making—are “objective” and “value-free” and that feminist studies are “unscholarly,” “biased,” and “ideological” dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture!”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“As for butterflies, I can hardly conceive
of one’s attending upon you; but to question
the congruence of the complement is vain, if it exists.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

“Don’t confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.”
—Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)
