Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or blindness:
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
“... that great blindness which we are all under in respect to our own selves.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
