Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or conceptual:
“Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.”

“Our acceptance of an ontology is, I think, similar in principle to our acceptance of a scientific theory, say a system of physics; we adopt, at least insofar as we are reasonable, the simplest conceptual scheme into which the disordered fragments of raw experience can be fitted and arranged.”
